Nuremberg: Affenfelsen - Sinwellturm - Burgkapelle St. Walburgis - DJH Youth Hostel Nuremberg - Turm Luginsland - Fünfeckturm - Imperial Castle of Nuremberg
Few places in Bavaria have a history as closely tied to the Holy Roman Empire as Nuremberg. Rising above the old town, the Imperial Castle was one of the empire’s most important royal residences, used by rulers travelling between their territories. Its fortifications include the Sinwell Tower, the Fünfeckturm and the Luginsland tower, while the Chapel of St Walburga forms part of the castle precinct. Below the sandstone ridge, Nuremberg’s steep-roofed historic quarters spread towards the Pegnitz River. The city is also inseparable from the Nuremberg Trials, held after the Second World War in the Palace of Justice, and from the Christkindlesmarkt, one of Germany’s best-known Christmas markets.

Nuremberg combines medieval grandeur with the pace of a major Franconian city in a way that reflects its position on the Pegnitz River in northern Bavaria. The Imperial Castle rises above the old town, where sections of the historic city walls still trace the former perimeter. Nuremberg’s past also includes the Nazi Party Rally Grounds and the Palace of Justice, where the Nuremberg Trials were held after the Second World War. Its annual Christkindlesmarkt is among Germany’s best-known Christmas markets. View additional webcams nearby to better understand how Nuremberg relates to Franconia and Bavaria.
