Cheap flights to Nuremberg from US$ 319.99*

You might just expect to come across a gingerbread house as you walk around Nuremberg's historic old town district. Featuring colorful, Bavarian style buildings and many of the city's cultural attractions, a walk around this part of town is like stepping into the streets of another time and place, and is worth the flight to Nuremberg alone.

Nuremberg Castle is found in the north-west of the old town, though its imposing structures can be seen throughout the city. The main castle has been standing for over 900 years and is steeped in history; every German emperor during the middle ages lived here. Climb to the top for some great views of the old town.

Since 1852 the Germanisches Nationalmuseum has been the premier museum for all things German. Today the museum houses over 1.2 million objects and is one of the largest museums documenting German cultural history. Spend an afternoon here and learn about the country's long cultural history.

The bratwurst might be available all over the world, but this is where it all started. They've been served in this region since the 14th century and you'll find many street side vendors and markets still offering the tasty snack. Also not to be missed is the other local delicacy, the gingerbread man.

Nuremberg is home to a number of well-preserved medieval churches. Visit the churches of St. Sebald, St. Lawrence, and the Church of our Lady to experience architecture, relics, and history of sites that date back to the 13th Century.
