short visit to Nuremberg

Nuremberg 

As every year we go for this short trip. Again we went to a German city. This the train took us to Nuremberg in Bavaria.

What a nice city! What a lively city! And so many easy going people.

The train ride from Schaffhausen took a bout 4hrs. We had to change in Stuttgart only. I suggest you to make a seat reservation as the trains are always fullypacked.

After this long journey I decided to walk to our hotel (sorry my dear friend ;-) I took 40 minutes passing new town and downtown. We stayed at the Centro Hotel which is a 10 minutes walk to the castle and old town.
If you stay there make a booking request for the groundfloor rooms that way you can enjoy a terrace (no view) but perfect for smoking....

Kreuzigungshof 

The city is not too big you can easily explore it by foot or tram for longer distances. Taxis are quite cheap too.

 Burggarten with tower 

Nuremberg is a very green city with lots of parks. One park we visited is called Hesperiden Garden. Centuries ago Nuremberg had like a green belt around itself. The city tries to rebuild these gardens. If there is a house on the former belt that is beiing demolished the city tries to buy the land and rebuilds the garden. Hesperids Garden refers to ancient greek mythology where the Hesperides protect the garden were there is a golden apple.

Another interesting thing is a part of the wall they put on a square. People should remember what happened. The funny thing is lots of inhabitants do not know that there is a part of the wall ;-)

You need any recomandations for a good bar or restaurant?
Well to try the famous nuremberg sausages go to Goldenes Posthorn next to Sankt Sebaldus Church.
For good meat and beer i suggest Hütt'n which is close by the Tiergärtnertor.

In Summer evenings you will find lots of people sitting next to the Tiergärtnertor having a beer or two.
In the mood for party? Well I just checked out one club in Nuremberg. Z-Bau is the name. They had a great Funky DJ. We were dancing till early in the morning and had such a great time.

There was the city beach for a good beer nd drink during day. They had the Africa Festival. Beergardens and so on.

Nuremberg you are awesome!!!!
