UNCOMPLICATED | UNHURRIED | UNEXPECTED |
Nuremberg is a bustling metropolis with an excellent infrastructure, innovative industries and prestigious universities and research institutes. Many global players such as adidas, Faber-Castell, Playmobil and Puma have their headquarters here. The city’s landmark is the medieval Imperial Castle. At its foot is the historic old town with a string of other sights and cultural institutions, such as the German Museum Nuremberg (Museum of the Future). In the tranquil old town alleyways, trendy meeting places and new districts also find their place and contribute to a relaxed and lively cityscape. The tension between tradition and modernity is also reflected in the varied gastronomy scene, which ranges from “drei im Weckla” and gingerbread to individual street food offerings and Michelin-starred restaurants.
