Holidays Paradise

In my business trip to Germany, I’ve managed to get some time to visit the center of Nuremberg, the second-largest Bavarian city with splendid mixture of tradition and modern times.

With 500,000 inhabitants, Nuremberg is the economic, services and cultural center of Northern Bavaria, and the center of the Nuremberg Metropolitan Region with about 3.5 million inhabitants.

The old town of Nuremberg in the shadow of the towering imperial castle is more than picturesque: Gothic churches, splendid patricians’ houses and romantic corners and spots. The castle is located on a sandstone rock in the north of the historical city and it comprises three parts: the Emperor’s buildings (”Kaiserburg”), the mostly built buildings of the rulers of Nuremberg (”Burggrafenburg”), and the buildings on the eastern side (”städtische Burganlage”). The castle was damaged in the Second World War but then reconstructed and today it stands as a omnipresent guardian of the old town.

An atmosphere of lively co-existence between medieval and modern, between the past and the present prevails in Nuremberg. I’ve walked for hours on the old streets and I could not get enough of the beautiful, well preserved buildings. A varied cultural life, a rich museum landscape, excellent shopping facilities, a large number of traditional and international restaurants and bars – all this constantly makes Nuremberg an experience that should not escape from you.

The most important house in the city is considered to be the house where Albrecht Dürer lived the last two decades of his life, from 1509 until his death in 1528. Three centuries after his death, the city bought the house, preserved it, and turned it into a museum. Inside the four-story house, there are many permanent exhibits devoted exclusively to Dürer’s life and works.
