What to see in Nuremberg in two days

A two-day trip to Nuremberg will be packed with activities but not exhausting if you group the sights by neighbourhood. It’s worth leaving time in your itinerary for the medieval architecture and German history, a rest after the coach journey, and the possibility of changing your plans due to the weather.

Day one

Start with the Main Market Square and the Church of Our Lady. Choose one main paid attraction, and plan the rest of the route as a leisurely stroll. Check the official tourist websites for current opening times and ticket prices.

Day Two

Continue on to the Imperial Castle and the historic streets. Alternate between museums and parks or waterfronts so as not to overpack your itinerary. Booking in advance can be useful for popular attractions, but leave some flexibility in your schedule.

Public transport

Download an offline map and check how to pay for your journey. If most places are close together, walking is often more convenient than making several short changes.

Bus travel preparation

Save the bus station’s address, and choose your accommodation based on your arrival time. Tips for the country are compiled in the RedRay travel guide, and essential items are listed in the ‘long journey’ checklist.

Return journey

Head to the platform with plenty of time to spare and check your ticket before you leave. You can compare bus options to and from the city on RedRay.
