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.

A trip to Salzburg is incomplete without a visit to Mirabell Palace and Gardens, which was built in 1606 by Prince-Archbishop Wolf Dietrich for his sweetheart Salome Alt. Along with the palace, the gardens are a part of the Historic Centre of the City of Salzburg UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Palace has a glorious history. Today, the complex is home to several municipal offices as well as those of the mayor of Salzburg. Located in the heart of the city, the Gardens were redesigned under archbishop Johann Ernst von Thun in 1690.
The Marble Hall is widely considered one of the “most beautiful wedding halls in the world”. These days, it regularly organizes weddings, conferences, and awards ceremonies.
The Mirabell Gardens consist of several structures, including the Pegasus Fountain, Grand Fountain, Hedge Theater, Dwarf Garden, Rose Garden, and Orangery. Visitors can enjoy the boxwood layouts, mythology-themed statues, and the Sylvan Theater designed between 1704 and 1718. One interesting fact about the gardens is that several important scenes in the acclaimed movie “The Sound of Music” were shot there.

Please note – The Mirabell Gardens are free to visit, and the palace is not open to the public.
