Step into our Boutique Hotel Vosteen, and you’ll find yourself just moments away from one of Nuremberg’s most vibrant squares: Tiergärtnertorplatz. Nestled beside the historic Albrecht Dürer House, this charming corner of the city has a unique flair that never fails to captivate our guests.

Known affectionately by locals as the Wanderer, Tiergärtnertorplatz is more than just a square – it’s a meeting place, a viewpoint, and a starting point all in one. This is where the true Nuremberg experience begins: historic houses, boutique shops, the famous Dürer House, and perhaps the best Franconian beer in town – served at Café Wanderer. Many guests love to soak up the lively atmosphere while enjoying a cool drink and watching the world go by.

Stroll, Browse, Discover
Nuremberg’s old town is best explored on foot, and from here, it couldn’t be easier. Picturesque alleyways, one-of-a-kind shops, and cozy beer gardens lead the way toward the Main Market Square and the Imperial Castle. For those who like to wander off the beaten track, the Castle Quarter reveals half-timbered houses, designer boutiques, antiques, and traditional craftsmanship. A highlight not to be missed: the Handwerkerhof, where pewterers, glass painters, and leather craftsmen showcase their skills in a historic setting.
