Nuremberg: Theresienstraße
Among the places of Bavaria, Nuremberg stands out for its walled Old Town and its exceptional role in German history. The Pegnitz River crosses the historic centre, dividing it into northern and southern halves before continuing west towards Fürth. Above the old town, Nuremberg Castle served as an important imperial residence of the Holy Roman Empire. Sections of the city walls, gates and towers still form a remarkably continuous boundary around the centre. Nuremberg is also closely tied to Germany’s 20th-century history: the Nazi Party Rally Grounds lie southeast of the centre, while the Palace of Justice hosted the Nuremberg Trials after the Second World War. Today, it remains a major Franconian cultural and commercial city.

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.

Built around the early medieval Duchy of Bavaria, Bavaria grew into Germany’s largest federal state. The Danube crosses its broad centre, while the Bavarian Alps form its southern edge and include the Zugspitze, Germany’s highest mountain. 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.

Germany stretches from the North Sea and Baltic Sea coasts to the Alps on its southern border, encompassing northern plains, river valleys and forested uplands. 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.
