[2025 Nuremberg Attraction] Travel Guide for Imperial Castle of Nuremberg (Updated Mar)

Germany 🇩🇪 Nuremberg is a very quiet and leisurely city. For someone like me who can briefly escape from the fast pace of China, I fell in love at first sight. The old town in the center of Nuremberg is the commercial center. The area is not large. It takes two hours to start from the southernmost train station, walk to the castle overlooking the entire city, and then walk back. I also had coffee on the roadside. It is definitely a good choice for a city walk.

When I stepped into Nuremberg in Bavaria, Germany, I was immediately fascinated by this ancient city. One of the most striking landmarks is Nuremberg Castle. I was very excited to decide to visit this over 800 year old castle and experience its charm. As I climbed the winding path on the castle hill, I was amazed by the castle's towering exterior walls and spectacular architecture. I noticed that the castle consisted of several parts, including the main Kaiserburg and two outer towers. I decided to visit Kaiserburg first to get a better understanding of the history and culture of the castle. As soon as I entered the Kaiserburg, I was fascinated by the magnificent hall and gorgeous decoration. The guide explained to me the history of the castle and its importance in the Middle Ages. I learned that Nuremberg Castle was once the residence of the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire and played an important political and military role for a long time. After visiting the main buildings, I decided to climb the castle tower to get a panoramic view of the city. Standing on a high place, I can overlook the roofs and streets of Nuremberg's old town, as well as the magnificent Nuremberg city scenery in the distance. This bird's-eye view made me appreciate the beauty and uniqueness of this city even more. Walking through the castle grounds, I felt an atmosphere of tranquility and peace. There are various flowers, plants and trees planted here, and there are pavilions and seats for tourists to rest. I spent some time in this peaceful setting, taking in the surroundings and listening to the sound of the breeze blowing through the leaves. During my visit to Nuremberg Castle, I was also lucky enough to experience some special activities that made my trip even more colorful. One of the highlights is trying authentic German cuisine in the Königliche Schlossrestaurant near the castle. This restaurant is located at the foot of the castle hill and serves traditional and refined German cuisine. I tasted the aromatic Nuremberg sausages, the classic pork knuckle, and the rich asparagus sauce. The atmosphere of the restaurant is warm and comfortable, and the staff are friendly and enthusiastic, which made me experience the German food culture more. In addition to tasting delicious food, I also discovered a very hidden second-hand shop near the castle that specializes in selling items from the Nazi era. The store is inconspicuously located in a side alley, but for tourists interested in history, it provides a unique opportunity for exploration. In this store, I saw various items related to the Nazi period, including books, photos, badges and other memorabilia. These objects remind us of the scars of our history and call on us to cherish and maintain peace and harmony. I spent some time in the store, reading about the stories behind the objects and thinking deeply about how we should treat the history of the past. It is also a moment to remind us of the importance of treating these objects with the right attitude and respect to ensure that the lessons of history are never forgotten. #resident writer #foodie #germany #nuremberg #german food

#urbanexplorer #nuremberg #germany If you’re looking for stunning views of Bavaria, it can’t get much better than Nuremberg castle. After a short walk up a small hill, we found ourselves at the battlements of the castle which is one of the most well preserved medieval fortresses in Europe! My favourite part was making our way up to the high walls to get an amazing view of the town.

Very impressive and excellent castle visit to the Imperial Castle. It is located at the top of a hill, overlooking the city of Nuremberg. The castle is very well maintained. There do not have any buses directly up so it might not be completely accessible for physically disabled people. Due to destruction during WWII, most of the interiors are redone as a museum. The anvient weapons and armor displays are nice. Climbing up the tower was fun and offers great views. Buy the combination tickets to visit the castle, tower and the well. It's definitely worth it. A "must" if you are in Nuremberg. #bucketlistreboot #tripblazers

Beautiful, majestic a real fortress! We visited the interior, very interesting and the exterior, some parts are under restoration. From inside the castle you can enjoy a wonderful view of Nurnberg. The castle is beautiful. Worth see for sure! #wintergetaway #wintergetaway

Arrived in Nuremberg at midnight, it was already dusk, but it still couldn't stop its half-wooden barrel house's medieval style, castle, Gothic church, fountain, sculpture, Bavarian-style house, Albrecht Dürer, German National Museum, Toy Museum, Siemens birthplace, the prototype of "The Nutcracker", the largest Christmas market in December... This town was built in 1060. Nuremberg's fame is related to the trial of Nazi war criminals held here after World War II in 1945. Due to history, Nuremberg is one of the ruling central cities directly under the emperor of the "Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation". During World War II, it was the venue for the Nazi Party's annual party congress. It was glorious during Hitler's Germany era, and it also made the city a key bombing target for the British and American allies. The old city with a strong medieval style was leveled, and it was rebuilt after the war, but it still retains its style. Later, with the development of industry, as a hub for foreign trade, the first section of railway from Fürth to Nuremberg was built here. Time back to the morning, also in a castle, Fulda. Fulda is a city in Hesse, Germany, located on the Fulda River. It is the 9th largest city in Hesse, the capital of Fulda County, the bishop's residence of the Catholic Diocese of Fulda, and has a spectacular cathedral.
