History Of Germany – Bon Voyage

I’ve always wanted to explore Nuremberg, the second-largest city in the German state of Bavaria. From its imperial castle to its amazing buildings, Nuremberg has everything to impress any tourist, especially if you’re a history buff. During my two-day stay, I tried my best to cover as much as I could.

Nuremberg Old Town (Altstadt) – Nuremberg’s Altstadt is a must-see for every tourist. The Pegnitz River divides the town’s center, with matching spires of St. Sebaldus and St. Lorenz cathedrals on either side. You can walk around the perimeter of the medieval wall surrounding Altstadt, which is home to dozens of towers and four large gates.
Hauptmarkt – Another famous spot in Nuremberg, well-known for its market stalls selling fresh products, crafts, and local goods. This spot is also the setting of Nuremberg’s famous Christmas market. Notable landmarks here include the Schöner Brunnen fountain and the Frauenkirche.
Imperial Castle of Nuremberg (Kaiserburg) – A must-visit for everyone. However, just make sure to spend at least one hour here to understand Germany’s ancient history. This marvelous and well-maintained castle includes the double chapel, Sinwell Tower, cellars, courtyards, and permanent history exhibitions.

There are other places to explore in Nuremberg, but due to lack of time, I skipped them.

Where to Eat – Nuremberg is dotted with numerous street food stalls and cafes. In every nook and corner, you will find something to eat. Most of the time, I ended up eating at street-side food stalls.

How to Reach Nuremberg:
By Air: Nuremberg has an airport well-connected to the rest of Europe. Air Berlin operates several flights from here.
By Train: Nuremberg’s main train station is situated in the city center. I traveled to Nuremberg from Berlin by train, which was smooth and effortless. Just make sure to book your tickets in advance; last-minute bookings can be expensive.
By Bus: One can also travel by bus; Eurolines offers many connections to Nuremberg from other European cities.

The cloudy and rainy morning did not deter me from exploring historic Rothenburg ob der Tauber, a well-preserved German medieval town. Located on a plateau overlooking the Tauber River, the town draws tourists from across the world. The true meaning of this town in German is “Red castle above the Tauber.” Rothenburg is one of Germany’s most enchanting medieval towns, enjoying immense popularity with tourists without losing its charm.

After getting down at the main train station of Rothenburg, I simply walked straight into the town by using the map. My first stop was the famous Plönlein, a yellow timber-frame house at the entrance of the Spital Quarter. Then gradually walk towards the center of the city, the Marktplatz with its huge Town Hall. The impressive structures display the pride of Rothenburg’s past residents with their city. This is where you will find a lot of bars and cafes. Words are not enough to describe the lively atmosphere of Rothenburg’s old quarter, which definitely stole my heart. Whether strolling through Rothenburg’s Spitalviertel district or exploring the wonderful churches, this picturesque town will take you bygone era. I sat down outside a bar and gulped famous Bavarian beer, observing marvelous structures around me. Due to lack of time, I could not explore the whole of the town.

Few points to remember: If you are planning to visit Rothenburg ob der Tauber, you can either stay in Rothenburg or in Nuremberg. It is possible to stay in Nuremberg and travel to Rothenburg for a one-day trip, which is doable. However, keep in mind that Rothenburg can get crowded during the afternoon, so it is better to explore it in the early morning.
