A trip to Nuremberg Castle is essential if you want to understand Germany’s ancient history, especially in the context of the Holy Roman Empire. The castle has plenty to see, including Sinwell Tower, the double chapel, cellars, courtyards, and permanent history exhibitions. Some castle tours also include a visit to the adjacent Old Town and stop at attractions such as Albrecht Dürer's house, St. Lorenz Church, and the Nazi Party Rally Grounds.
Day trips to Nuremberg Castle typically leave from Munich, Prague, and Frankfurt. Some excursions include a visit to the castle along with other German destinations such as Munich, Rothenburg, or Heidelberg.
