The 10 best hotels in Nuremberg

Nuremberg captivates visitors with its magnificent medieval historic centre, featuring the Imperial Castle, which you can explore in an hour and a half, though you could easily spend a whole weekend there. One of the city’s main attractions is its famous Christmas markets, which are among the best in the world.

You’ll also have a great time in Nuremberg with children, thanks to the lovely zoo with its dolphinarium and the Playmobil theme park just a stone’s throw outside the city limits.
