Nuremberg: Theresienstraße
Few places in Bavaria have a history as closely tied to the Holy Roman Empire as Nuremberg. The Pegnitz runs through its historic centre, where the Imperial Castle crowns a sandstone ridge above the old town. From the Middle Ages, Nuremberg was one of the Empire’s leading cities; its castle served as an imperial residence, while merchants and craftsmen gave the city European reach. Its darker legacy is equally central: Nazi Party rallies were staged here, and the post-war Nuremberg trials established landmark principles of international criminal law. Modern Nuremberg combines a major Franconian urban centre with surviving walls, Gothic churches and the Fernmeldeturm Nürnberg, a defining feature of its skyline. Its historic core brings together medieval trade and twentieth-century European history.

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.

Munich is the state capital and the home of Oktoberfest, a festival rooted in an 1810 royal wedding. Beyond the metropolis, Franconia’s vineyards, Swabian towns and Alpine resorts reveal how varied this part of Germany can be.

The Rhine, Danube and Elbe have long connected its regions, while the Black Forest and Bavarian Alps give the south a more dramatic relief. Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate and Museum Island reflect the capital’s role in German history and culture. Cologne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rises above the Rhine, and the Bauhaus movement, founded in Weimar in 1919, transformed modern design far beyond Germany.
