Wow, wow, wow. Excellent castle visit to the Imperial Castle. Located at the top of a hill, overlooking the city of Nuremberg, the Imperial Castle is reached after a serious climb uphill. Not difficult for the fully able ,it is a long rather arduous slog up to the courtyard. *******,Handicap VERY difficult , if not impossible, not made any easier by the cobblestone road .*********( that said, I did see a gentleman with a walker!!!) The museum entry is 7 Euros, 6 if you are a senior or a student. Wow----super excellent presentation and displays of the medieval history of this castle 🏰. Armaments, armor, clothing, artifacts, explanations and visuals were superb. One of the best. Great value for the money!!!! Restaurant in the courtyard BEST VIEWS OF NUREMBERG. PHOTO OP ++++++!!!!!! Restrooms available. Free brochures. Recommended highly 👌 👍 👏 Final take . Prep yourself for the climb up but well worth it Go

Quite a beautiful little castle. Really great museum. Would recommend getting the combination ticket as the view from the top of the tower is really great and the deep well tour is quite a different experience. They also got a couple of eateries on site.

It was amazing to visit this imperial castle of Nuremberg. The constructions were protected with 3 layered thick wall with around 10 ft thickness and 2 stages of different heights. The tunnels, the rooms, the towers, the gardens, the dungeons, the underground pathways designs and the city view points were awesome to see. I felt like I entered in the Game of Thrones series.

Amazing medieval castle that have been kept so well. This is truly a castle with super strong defense. Not far from the city center market, easy to walk to. Free to walk into it and there is a good view of the old town. Even though Nuremberg was 90% destroyed during WWII, the old town was rebuilt and restored according to the pictures they had of the old buildings and structures. So, much of the history is preserved. Otherwise, if they had decided to build everything new, there would not be not much of the past left to see. Very impressive old town city market with a gorgeous fountain and church, and you can buy fantastic food, flowers, gingerbread cookies…. If you are a WWII history fan, then you have a lot more places to see. Really worth visiting.

It's incredible how well-preserved the castle is post-World War II. Its grandeur and size are truly breathtaking. From the top, overlooking the town, you understand why it was strategically placed there. The surrounding city walls in Nuremberg are still intact, offering about an hour's walk around them. Navigating the city is convenient; everything is within a 30-minute walk from the center, allowing you to discover hidden gems like bridges, churches, and historic buildings along the way. The castle itself offers free entry and plenty of areas to relax. Exploring its various sections, like the converted horse stables and food storage areas, is best with a knowledgeable local guide to delve into its history. Though it requires a bit of uphill walking, the panoramic view from the top makes it all worthwhile, showcasing the city's landmarks and beauty.

This iconic castle is likely more interesting from the outside than the inside. Due to destruction during WWII, most of the interiors are redone as a museum. The anvient weapons and armor displays are nice. Climbing up the tower was fun and offers great views. The deep well guided tour was the best part thanks to the enthusiastic and engaging guide.

Beautiful castle over looking Nuremberg. Great views from the top. Beautiful fort and buildings. We did not fully go inside, but walked around on the outside. Enjoyed the visit and the walk.

Beautiful castle, it’s worth a visit. Beautiful view of the town and nearby there are many restaurants and bars to enjoy the day. A must see place , you shouldn’t miss in Nürnberg.

Amazing place and lots of tours to take. This has a great history and the Old Town is filled with attractions and old buildings, churches, hospital and nice walks. The castle is historic and you can get breathtaking views. I took a few great pics.

Another stop on our city walking tour. End of September 2023. There is no charge to go through the grounds. Took us about 20min to visit. The buildings are beautiful to see, and the views from the top are spectacular! Definitely worth walking up.

Beautiful castle and wonderful city. Explored all around the castle grounds, up into the tower and also saw the well. 100% recommend a visit! Plenty of sites to see to fill an afternoon.

Less stairs in the tower than St. Augustine’s Light house (St. Augustine, Florida USA). Beautiful piece of history- we spent the afternoon! A must see- most of the displays information is in German- spring for the audio it’s worth it!!

Very impressive castle. A capital of European Kings from 11 till 16 centuries. Place where Holy Roman empire was ruled from. Building itself is really big on the top of the hill. Views around are amazing. Very strongly recommended!

Historical landmark & museum with commanding views out across the city. This is a must visit attraction if you’re in the city and would like to know about its foundation. Excellent exhibits, some interactive with translations available. Has a reasonably priced cafe and some gardens for relaxing in too. It can be a bit of a slog getting up the hill though. There may be accessible ways to get there that I did t see.

Great views of the old city from here. There’s a nice cafe and gift shop at the top. It’s worth the walk up for the views and the way back down is dotted with great places to eat and drink. Definitely recommend this if you’re in town.

….Its was a real steep walk to get to the top as the Castle 🏰 is on one of the highest points of Nurnberg! Very impressive to see how well it’s preserved and maintained! And it has many tower and you can observe it from different angles…there bars and restaurants where one can enjoy foods offered! A must see or just to wonder around…Absolute-lii magnificent and the gardens are breathtaking-lii beautiful…,

This is a sprawling wonder. You can wander around the grounds, inside and out, for hours. There are many small and large secrets to discover. And much light a good piece of art, it changes dramatically with the light of day and night.

The well tour is very good and a must do, the tower has great views and the pictures of the WW2 damage are a great addition - The museum itself has good info on the building and its years and associated history, better than I expected and staff very friendly

Very pretty, caring lots of history. I was a bit disappointed that the crown was a 3D model and not something that would replicate best the real ones, but that’s understandable. Not all the things inside the museum has an English translation, but it’s worth visiting the museum!

It has a really good view of the city. View point is open all the time,but the castle is closed on holidays and the weekend. Spent the new years eve here, and the view point was very much crowded.Inside it has a museum, a deep well, and a tower where you can take a better view of the city.

Beautiful castle. Nice view of Nuremberg city. Go with a tour guy so you will know the history of the place.

I still can't believe that the castle is still in such good shape after the Second World War. Breathtaking, massive, magnificent. When you go up to the top and look out over the town, you get a sense of why they built the castle where it is. I cannot get over how impressive it is. Also, Nuremberg is still surrounded by the great city walls. It takes about an hour to walk around them. That's the great thing about the city. You can walk anywhere and it never takes more than 30 minutes to get to the other side of the city centre. Best of all, while you are exploring the city on foot, you will find many other gems on your walking adventure. From bridges to churches and other lovely old buildings. Enjoy!🏰✨️ Little tip: During weekdays you can enter the inside of the castles for free. That is in the morning until 10am or so

A whole tour area, if you are not interested in the museum can only buy tickets to the castle, the scenery is very good, need to climb the stairs.

+Nice view,the whole city under your feed +Free entrance +Within walking distance from the train station +There are many seating and relaxation areas inside the castle

This is a beautiful place to visit. It has a very steep cobbled path leading up to the entrance and a lot of steps inside. I bought the combination ticket which was worth it. The castle is well presented inside with educational displays. The tower is 112 steps up a spiral staircase, but the views from the top were beautiful. The tour to the well was funny and fascinating. The tour guide knew his stuff.

Nice place for photos, near by u have a lake to spend some time with family. Museum is 6eur per head, if u have interest to know why and what is documentation center created u can visit. 4 eur to park the car.. u can drive directly into the center.

A very interesting place. Very informative displays. Visited as part of a walk around the entire site (which took a good couple of hours) I would have rated it higher if it hadn’t been a temporary exhibition. Compared to the similar Document Centre we visited in Munich (which was free, this one wasn’t) there was far more information available.

a small one floor exhibition about the history of the area and the surrounding Monuments. entrance 6€ in an outside office. the building itself has an impressive glass platform on the roof, located just at the entrance of the Congresshall.

Looks like it's having a major overhaul (Oct 22) so the interim exhibition is not much to look at. The building and structure is pretty amazing though. Look forward to visiting again when it's all done.

The museum is currently in renovation. Currently, there is just one small part arranged. The entrance of 6 euro is a bit steep for what it is now, but already to stay in a real place of the history that you explain is a big plus. Then, even though it is temporary, it is well done and give you an understanding of the area.

This place is have huge relavance in the pages of German political history.Well preseved documents, photographs, audios, videos and relics. A place must to visit for all history seeking people.

A surprise find. A must visit place in Nuremberg displays the propaganda techniques used by Nazism to con the Germans. Hitler knew the power of propaganda

I've been here 5 years ago and I loved it! I went back a week ago and didn't really like it cause they are under construction so they arranged one only big room where you can read about the Nazi Rally Party and see pictures about it, still interesting tho.

Interesting place on many levels. Reading from the exhibition makes you think about why it was important to have the war trials in Nuremberg. The sheer size of the grounds is scary. The incomplete concert hall is huge.

Little bit of dark history. Places like this may be hard on some but the lessons must be shared and taught so that they never happen again.

Temporary exhibit v informative with more experience of the victims and survivors of the awful regime. This must never happen again.

A must visit when in Nuremberg. Sobering and interesting.

Though currently under construction/refurbishment, it was still a good visit. Inside the museum there were a lot of displays covering the timeline and usage of the area since its inception to present day as well as memoirs and excerpts from historical documents. The walk around the really grounds was nice and the Zeppelin Grandstand was particularly impactful.

Heavy stuff, but super enlightening. I can’t imagine how crowded it would be on a busy day, but my party and I were able to take our time and not feel crowded. I recommend several breaks for fresh air like me if stuff like this can weigh you down. Several tours walked through while we observed, read, contemplated, interact with displays, and processed all this information ℹ️. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, it is alright to not know something. We are all here to learn. Time should be taken if distractions tend to be a problem, because I have issues staying still at all moments. There is a lot to take in and it’s easy to miss things. Take pictures, ask questions, and be willing to listen 🎧 👂 .

(Translated by Google) A beautiful tower above the entrance to the city. The youngest of the twenty few surrounding the city. (Original) Piękna wieża ,nad wjazdem do miasta.Najmłodsza z dwudziestu kilku otaczających miasto.

The walk around the town walls is great to do around sunset, it wasn't very busy whilst we walked the walls and gave great views of the Rothenberg rooftops. Whilst walking the walls look out for names on stones that are set into the walls, these are the names of people from around the world that have brought a section of the wall to help fund the restoration and upkeep of the town. Walking the walls is free to do so well worth a visit!

It is the newest and tallest structure of the Rothenburg city fortifications, the Spitaltor. The hospital tower is part of the southern fortification and was built until 1360 and 1380. The old Hospital of the Holy Spirit was included in the fortification at the request of the population. The city wall had to be expanded and thus the gate and the name arose. Next to the door is the original sentry box. If you liked it, please give it a like, thanks.

It was a very beautiful experience Rothenburg ob der tauber is a city from the Middle Ages with protective walls around the city and tall and beautiful ramparts that have remained intact for hundreds of years I recommend you to visit this beautiful city, don't miss that

Continue along this wall to see the blacksmith's house. One of the more interesting houses along the walls.

Beautiful Place

(Translated by Google) These towers are an eye-catcher for the city fortifications and unfortunately they are not accessible (it doesn't matter, the entire city wall is and an experience!!!). When the infirmary was incorporated into the city wall in 1370, a gate was to be built here to serve as the new southern entrance to Rothenburg. The defense of the gate was greatly improved in 1586 when this tall gate tower and eight-shaped bastion were added (the tower is visible from afar and is one of the reasons for the city's uniqueness). The bastion has 2 courtyards, has 7 gates, an upper passage and is surrounded by a dry moat into which you can walk. We could spend a good hour wandering the figure eight just admiring the exposed beams and covered bridge. The Latin inscription above the gate says: “Peace to those who enter; Farewell to those who leave.” (Original) Diese Türme sind ein Hingucker für die Stadtbefestigungen und dieser leider nicht zugänglich (macht nix, die gesamte Stadtmauer ist es und ein Erlebnis!!!). Als die Krankenstation 1370 durch die Stadtmauer eingegliedert wurde, sollte hier ein Tor gebaut werden, das als neuer südlicher Eingang nach Rothenburg dienen sollte. Die Verteidigung des Tores wurde 1586 stark verbessert, als dieser hohe Torturm und die Bastei in Form einer Acht angebaut wurden (der Turm ist von Weit sichtbar und einer der Gründe für die Einzigartigkeit der Stadt). Die Bastion hat 2 Innenhöfe, hat 7 Tore, einen oberen Gang und ist von einem trockenen Graben umgeben, in den man gehen kann. Wir könnten eine gute Stunde damit verbringen, durch die Acht zu wandern und nur die freiliegenden Balken und die überdachte Brücke zu bewundern. Die lateinische Inschrift über dem Tor sagt: „Friede denen, die eintreten; Lebe wohl von denen, die gehen.“

(Translated by Google) Freely accessible. You can walk all the way around. Also about the old city walls. (Original) Vrij toegankelijk. Je kan helemaal rond lopen. Ook over de oude stadsmuren.

Amazing cathedral with Gothic style architecture. The building is clearly visible in this small town with few tall buildings. The twin towers looked massive from a distance, and even more imposing up close. Inside is richly decorated. There are many religious artifacts, paintings, sculptures, and relics. Definitely worth visiting if you are in the area. There are also many street vendors selling great foods outside. This entire area is very pedestrian friendly.

The Frauenkirche is a true treasure! Its historical importance and stunning architecture make it an essential destination. Rebuilt after the war, it's a delight for history and architecture enthusiasts alike. Apart from its scenic views, the area hosts numerous talented street performers. It's worth taking the time to appreciate their efforts to make a living. Visiting this church in Nuremberg was a treat for both history and architecture lovers. Although crowded on weekends, it's still worth the wait to enter. Located in the old town area, its towering spires and intricate design are impressive. Inside, the high ceilings and detailed interior add to the experience. Donations are encouraged, and there's a shop and information boards to learn more about its history. A worthwhile stop on the way to the castle area from the main train station.

Beautiful church with a beautiful design, the interior looks great. It's free to enter and there's a donation box for those who are will to contribute.

Very large with a high ceiling. Here you can specifically see how kings where different from serfs. How they built structures. And how they differ to now. It's a great experience to be in a place that's older than the whole united states twice over.

The magic thing about the St. Lorenz (St. Lawrence) Church is its amazing rebuilding/restoration after it was almost completely destroyed during WWII. The church is wonderfully ornated. It is a true architectural gothic-style building. However, there aren't many people visiting it, and the walk-in is pleasant and relaxing.

It's a medieval church renowned for its Gothic architecture and impressive sculptures. The church is a significant landmark in Nuremberg and is known for its stunning interior, including the famous "Angel's Choir" by sculptor Adam Kraft.

Beautiful and amazing old Lutheran church. What amazing architecture

The Lorenzkirche is in the heart of the old city walls of Nüremberg. It chimes and reminds people what time of day it is no mater what part of the old town your in. Around Christmas time some of the best Christmas markets can be found in all the streets and market place area around the Church. This is a visually beautiful area of Nüremberg and the Christmas markets are a bonus, they truly are a annual treat.

Simply put one of the most beautiful cathedrals I have ever seen. The whole structure is a work of art.

Gothic cathedral built between 1250 and 1470 with finishing elements in the Hall. reconstructed after the war. width 30m length 90m, many Gothic sculptures can be seen inside and outside.a must visit.

One of the most beautiful churches I have ever seen in my life. The details are incredible, and when the sun goes down, the church shines. It’s a must see.

I really liked this Gothic style church. Inside you will find one of the most important works "Angel's Greeting" by Veit Stoss, Madonna and Child from the 14th century and a sacramentarium created by Adam Krafft.

An absolute gem! Its historical significance and breathtaking architecture make it a must-visit. It was reconstructed after the war. For enthusiasts of history and architecture, this church stands out as an amazing and positive destination.

St. Lorenz (St. Lawrence) is a medieval church of the former free imperial city of Nuremberg in southern Germany. It is dedicated to Saint Lawrence. The church was badly damaged during the Second World War and later restored. It is one of the most prominent churches of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bavaria.

Impressive church. Very beautiful 🤩 under the sun.

The church was originally built as a three-aisled basilica in the Gothic style around 1250, then expanded by an imposing late Gothic hall choir between 1439 and 1477. It was seriously damaged 😔 during the Second World War and it took about seven years to restore it.

It's one of the churches that must be seen in Nurnberg because it's old and with an impressive architecture. I attended a Christmas concert there and the acoustics was perfect.
