City: Nuremberg

Nuremberg, the unofficial jewel of Franconia, is a city of overwhelming historical duality. On the one hand, it boasts a glorious past as an Imperial Free City, with an imposing castle, medieval walls and the legacy of the Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer. On the other hand, it faces its dark role as the ideological center of the Third Reich. This tension between medieval beauty and the grim history of the 20th century, culminating in the Nuremberg Trials, makes it a fascinating, educational and deeply human destination, also famous for its magical Christmas market and culinary delights.

Three in a Bun ('Drei im Weggla')

The traditional way of eating Nuremberg sausages. Order 'Drei im Weggla' at a street stall: you'll get three grilled sausages on a crusty bun. Don't forget the mustard!
