Nuremberg: Home to the World's Largest Medieval Old Town

With just one day in Nuremberg, focus on its compact historic core for a mix of WWII history, medieval charm, and local flavors. Start early (8 AM) at the Imperial Castle (Kaiserburg) – climb for panoramic views and explore the 11th-century fortress (1-2 hrs, €9 entry). Descend to the Hauptmarkt square: admire the Beautiful Fountain and Gothic Frauenkirche church with its mechanical clock chiming at noon. Post-lunch (try Nuremberg Rostbratwurst sausages at a biergarten like Bratwursthäusle), head to the Nazi Party Rally Grounds (Dokumentationszentrum, 2 hrs, €6) – a sobering museum on Third Reich history via tram (20 min ride). Afternoon: Stroll the city walls and Handwerkerhof craft courtyard for souvenirs. If time, visit Albrecht Dürer's House museum (€6). End with riverside walks along the Pegnitz. Total walking: 5-7 km; use VGN day pass (€8) for transport. Skip if rainy – prioritize indoors!
