Nice to see my beautiful hometown through the eyes of a visitor.

I lived in Nürnberg for quite a while. Well, I think Nürnberg City Marketing should pay you for this video. It's one of the best infomercials I saw for Nürnberg. Great! Thank you so much!!

Thank you so much for doing this video, and thank you all the more for addressing the dark history of Nuremberg that addresses the continual process of othering in an open and honest way. As a Jewish medieval historian (who also grew up in Munich and all that entails) I appreciate this a great deal.

Another wonderful video! The tough topic was gracefully articulated. Nuremberg is 100% added to the German road trip! Cheers and keep up the awesome work!

Very well done to both of you! Thank you, Ben, for the inclusion of the importance of recognizing not all has been quaint and charming and being respectful of what happened. On the other hand, this is definitely a city which would be on our German itinerary.

When you are up at the castle, definitely check out the castle gardens (Burggarten, open in summer): a hidden gem of stunning parkland on top of the huuuuge medieval bastions. Gives you a different perspektive of the entire town wall - oh, and it has the "best view of the town".

There is a whole center for covering the dark parts of Nürnbergs history at the "Dokumentations-Zentrum Reichsparteitagsgelände" at the lake Dutzenteich. You can reach it by public transport from the main station in 10 minutes. Thank you so much for showing my hometown in such a wonderful way!

Great info as always, also congrats on passing 20K subscribers, so well deserved!

There is one more thing u coud check next time. very close to the market and Albrechts house, there is a dungeon called Lochgefängnis. it is going from the market to the castle on the right side going trough an old looking door. This Dungeon is 100% original and did not get destroyed during ww2.

Really well done!

You did such an amazing video. ♥️ The strange fountain at the beginning is the 'Ehebrunnen' = 'marriage fountain ' which shows the different phases of a marriage, from the glorious courtship and beauty to the cruel possible end. 😅 It is a bit sarcastic. The wooden bridge you crossed, ending at the Henkerhaus was that bridge where people a long got hung a long time ago. Therefore you need the Henkerhaus for the Henker, who executed the hanging of the people. This comment is a bit of a sinister collection, but Nürnberg has many many other beautiful things to offer as well ... 😅

Things to do in Nürnberg as a Tourist: - buy a Lebkuchen in summer at Hauptmarkt, just because you can - Check out the city districts Johannes and Gostenhof. They give a total different feel - Chill at Schnepperschütz at Hallertor or Whörder Wiese/Whörder See. Bring a blanket and drink beer and wine. - Favourite Beergardens: Krakauer Turm (reserve a table), Tucher Biergarten, Hummelsteiner Park, - Take the Tram 6/11 from Plärrer to get to Dutzendeich and the Dokumentationszentrum. You can see the whole Nationalsocialist terror and how it relates to the city. - Wednesdays after 6pm the germanic National history museum has free entry till 9pm

Your tough topic was handled perfectly. It's an unfortunate human trait, that has & is being mirrored all over the world in one form or another.

Schönes Video, Grüße aus Nürnberg (: Piet

Love from Nürnberg 🇩🇪 Nice Video 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Your parting comments are not only appropriate but needed and eloquently stated. Thank you!

Thank you for not only the video but your words. I appreciate your taking the time to address the ‘elephant in the room’ and the issues that still exist. Well said.

Great video - my wife and I will be visiting Nuremberg in Dec for the Christmas markets. I think a summer trip would be awesome too!

Not to sidetrack the conversation, but... we just did Eibsee and took your advice to go anti-clockwise, seeing the best views first and powering past the crowds at the end. AND... a couple of weeks ago, we went to San Romedio on public transport (just to prove it could be done) and based on your visit. Thanks for the show.

Great video as always...great mix of information and what to expect...I visit Germany every year from Ireland

really fantastic video of my hometown thank you very much!

There is the main tourist information, way bigger, behind this big tower 4:06 on the street in a glass cube attached to an old building. They are open all day. - You missed the plaque on the house across the Maxbrücke 10:19 where it says that this was the place where Kasapar Hauser first turned up in May 1828

Hi i am living in Nuremberg for about 7 years now and i have not visited all the places you showed, thanks for showing them. Now i know what to do the next weekend! also about the weird fountain i wanted to let you know that it is the 7 deadly sins. thanks again!

Thanks. Heading to Garmisch in 30 days...can't wait 😊

I'm a local. very cool video I find. imagine how this city would look like if it had not been bombed to the ground.

Thank you! I'm living in Nuremberg and loved the video! Also recommend the guided tours in the city dungeons, the night watch tours starting on Hauptmarkt and the toy museum. There also is a kind of hidden-ish stairway next to Albrecht Dürer Platz where you can get on the city wall. That is one of my favourite walkways :)

Excellent as always

I had the privilege of growing up in Nuremburg. I loved every minute of it. A cool (but morbid fact) is they used to hang people off of the bridges. Well said at the end, Ben.

Hello again! I visited Nurnberg last August and the Duerer Haus was my primary focus of the trip, but I was somewhat limited in my walking by a slowly healing ankle surgery. The castle had been on my "to do" bucket list but was unable to do that much walking and stairs. I'm sure that Camille knows that Albrecht Duerer was the Leonardo da Vinci of Germany, and his works are wonderful. Some of his original paintings are in the Alte Pinakothek in Munich. I stayed at a Paulanerbraeu Gasthaus near the Hauptbahnhof, which was very pleasant but with steep stairs to my room. I'm considering another day trip to Nurnberg in about 2 months on my way to Lutherstadt Wittenberg and then Dresden.

You gave us a sunset spot 🥰.

you should eat in Trödelstubn or Albrecht Dürer Haus for franconian food:)

Well done video about Nürnberg. I am a lifetime resident and am living right in the old city and love it. A few things I wanted to add..... The "strange" fountain at the entrance to the subway firstly conceals a subway air opening, was built in the 80s and in an exaggerating way depicts the the different possible scenarios of a marriage. The weird train like looking car with multiple carriages is a tourist ride through the city and is designed a little bit after the "Adler", the first train ever which ran between Nürnberg and its neighboring city Fürth in 1835. The "Henkerhaus" was in fact the place where the city's executioner was living in earlier times, beceaus the job executioner was a ver undesireable and looked doen upon job and these people were not allowed to live IN the city and his place to live was therefore built to span the river which basically made it to not be in the city(nowadays it's a museum). A last interesting fact for the view over the city from the castle. After the war when rebuilding was happening it was decided that the houses rebuilt were not allowed to be higher than a certain amount of stories and that the roofs had to somewhat mimic how it looked before to retain the "old" view over the city and it not being mutated into an ugly modernized behemoth but retain a medieval look.

I normally do a daytrip from Landshut (two hour's) or so and it's never long enough, next time I will stay overnight. 😊

I love the video, especially because it's the town where I work in and nearby live. As you also love trips into nature besides the ones into towns, what about visiting the Fränkische Schweiz, north of Nürnberg and east of Bamberg? Pottenstein and Gößweinstein and the area around could perhaps offer proper destinations for a video. 🙂

The Nuremberg trials took place there bc there was an intact room inside the courthouse that could hold all the people. All the other suitable places in Germany were said to have been bombed.

I always found Nuremberg to be an odd one. At first I didn't like it at all due to its post war architecture, but then I didn't explore all the hidden gems you have sniffed out. (How did you manage to find all these great location? I am much inpressed. After having seen your vid, I really want to Pay Nuremberg another visit.) However, dringend my 2nd visit and after having coped with seeing the destruction of a town that used to be one of the foremost Medieval cities of Europe due to a stupid and brainless thing which war always is, I felt realy relaxed in Nuremberg. I think it is one of the most relaxed cities in Southern Germany and unlike Munich, which sometimes feels like a fashion show of the rich and famous, in Nuremberg anything seem to go and you can be yourself wothout worrying about appearance. So great that you did a video on this City.😅

The reason why the Nazis chose Nürnberg for their Reichsparteitage and the allied-forces for the trials is not so much the historical significance (although that was obviously not lost on them) but because Nürnberg just so happened to be a good fit geographically. For the nazis is was almost perfectly in the middle of their "Reich" (remember that at the time Germany was bigger especially towards the east). The area of the Reichsparteitagsgelände was chosen because there already was a railway close to it. The allied-forces chose Nürnberg not to humiliate the nazis (although that was an added bonus), but because Nürnberg already had a prison that was suitable for the trials, given the security meassures that were put in place and the world`s press that wanted to attend. If you are fluent in German there is a brilliant documentary from the Nürnberger Museen explaining the Reichsparteitage in great detail. The Reichsparteitagsgelände is definetely worth a visit, but as nice as the surrounding nature is, it is seriously depressing to see the size of what they were planning to build.

I was there last month! Nuremburg was probably my favorite stop on my two week trip to Bavaria and Austria! I need to back!

Amazing stadt I Wil spend day of trip from Munich next month By the way I think Saturday is all so beautiful from both sides of the fllus

Hey Willkommen in "meiner" Stadt bzw. in Franken ;)

Would you recommend visiting Nuremberg for a day trip on a Sunday? Or would a week day be better?

I guess you went on Sunday. Good day for video. Not so much for eating or shopping.

If you like city walls and moats (and I know you do ;) ) I can't recommend my hometown augsburg enough. Parts of the city wall and moat are even part of the UNESCO World Heritage.

btw, i have a question about the trains. Im in germany austria and switzerland for 5 weeks. I'm doing 3 or 4 long train rides, the rest should be shorter. I was thinking of buying a eurail pass with like 5 or 10 full travel days, and then maybe the 49 euro a month ticket? Sound reasonable?

They have to film a Lord of the Rings there...

Yeah but honestly there‘s so much more to discover: You hinted the nazi history: there you have the colosseum and area for the Reichsparteitage and a very good museum ( Doku-Zentrum). It is worth walking around the wall cause you pass many interesting and different neighbourhoods like Sankt Johannes, Gostenhof etc. there are many little streets with great cafes and restaurants and You really missed the brewery close to the Dürer house, where you can make an underearth tour to the basements and bunkers where there are also beer storages.. furthermore, Nürnberg is actually grown together with Fürth, that is also a very cosy City with old Jugendstil Building and Renaissance and Baroque Architecture..Erlangen and Schwabach actually is also quasi grown together with Nürnberg

It's an owl. See the letter in it's talons? Now think Harry Potter.

It s just a bridge, my god 😂

*Nürnberg...

Very important words towards the end. Niemals Afd!

We like the places you visit, but get a little tired of seeing your face all the time.
