Review of the Nuremberg day trip from Munich by regional train, covering medieval sights, Nazi Rally Grounds, guides, pace, cost, and practical tips.
“Overall average trip as it was too hectic and we felt rushed from one place to the next. We didn’t have free time to explore the market place on our own. On hindsight, we should have just chosen the Old Town Nuremberg and have the rest of afternoon exploring the town on our own. On the positive side, our guide Akim provided great information and was engaging.”
