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.
