Is it worth a few hour stopover in Nurnberg on the train between Berlin and Munich? Would there be luggage lockers at the station large enough to fit carry-on sized luggage? And we would be there on Dec. 26 - a holiday many places. Would anything be open? Thanks! Erin

Are the stores open on Sundays in December during the Christmas Markets season? We were in Nuremberg in the summer and all the shops were closed on Sundays.

And if someone can recommend a good restaurant for traditional christmas meal? Is the restaurants near the Altstadt area full on the christmas day (24.12)? Thanks for the answers beforehand! -P&P&P-

I am a cooking instructor and would love to take a cooking class while in Nurnberg in October. Would love to visit a bakery, take a lebkuchen or bread baking class, and my husband would love a tour of a sausage making, and possibly participate in making wurst.

Any idea how much it will cost to travel from Nuremburg train station to Nuremburg airport? The extra hire car pick up cost at station is significant so getting ideas please.

Will be on a road trip in Germany this summer and Nürnberg is on the list. I have been there for business a few times already, but have unfortunately not been able to see much of the city during those visits. I have seen enough though to know that I want to see more! I would like tips on accomodation. Could stay in the city centre or in the outskrits if the public transportations are easily available. A place with a little more "soul" than the big chain hotels would be nice. We have already put a couple of museums and the castle on the to do list, but if you want to share your favorite Nürnberg activity that would be nice (museums, restaurants, activities etc) Would also like tips on day trips from Nürnberg to neighbouring cities, nature experiences, wine yards, breweries etc. Will be traveling by car, but could also use public transportation if this is available. Finally here is my other questions regarding the road trip, any comments to them are also appreciated. VT Forum temporarily unavailable VT Forum temporarily unavailable

The hotels in Nuremberg are completely booked during the days I need to visit. Can you recommend a reasonably priced hotel on a train-stop 20-30 Kilometers that is walking distance from the train-stop? Better yet, can you tell me what towns are on train-stops 20-30 kilometers NORTH of Nuremberg?

If you only had one day in Nurembergh what would be the must do things?

Four of us (late 30’s) are visiting Nuremberg mid December for the Christmas market. It’s about five years since we last visited. Can anyone offer advice on the following three restaurants on a Saturday night to celebrate a birthday? We want somewhere reasonably enjoyable, memorable, fun, friendly, modern/nice décor, decent food etc. (We’ve been to places like Bratwurst Roslein previously so don’t want a very ‘traditional’ restaurant.) S’baggers - seems a bit quirky but is it worth the trip out to an industrial estate? Padelle D’italia - seems to have good reviews but website pictures look a bit dull inside! Etage - Thai restaurant – can’t find anything about the building and atmosphere? Also, can anyone identify the bar/club that we went to last time we were there? I can’t seem to find anything on Google or Google Maps that identifies it! Somewhere near the castle and Albrecht Durer Haus there’s quite a long wide (cobbled?) street that runs downhill. It’s got various bars (several Irish bars I think?) and others on either side (big stone buildings). At the bottom on the left there’s a bar/club that is on the corner. It was quite cramped inside, a bit studenty, lots of wood panelling with a central bar in a square shape that you could access from pretty much all sides. It was split into almost little rooms, with a dance floor at the back. Any ideas?!

Hi We're coming to Nuremberg in early December for the Christkindlmarkt and are then going skiing. We will have ski suits and will hire ski boots at the resort. However, we need to buy moon boots and ski accessories (gloves, goggles, hats etc). Can anyone provide a tip on where we can buy these affordably - preferably near the city centre as we are staying close to the Hauptbanhof. We're not at all brand conscious, but are looking to get value for money (By the way, we are two adults and two kids, aged 7 and 4)? Thanks and regards Cathy

Please can you advise me on train services from Nuremberg to Oppenau - frequency, travel time and cost of tickets. Thanks

Hi, Anyone know of a self service laundry around the Nürnberg Hauptbahnhof? dromo..

Hi. There are 6 adults traveling from Rothenburg to Munich on the morning of Sept. 19th. We should be able to take the 8:07 train from Rothenburg to Steinach (b Rothenb)change trains-- platform 4 to platform 3 (4 minutes). Then travel from Steinach to Ansbach and change trains -- platform ? (5 minutes). Then Ansbach to Nurnberg HBF and change trains. My concern is in Nurnberg because I am sure the train station is very large. We only have 8 minutes and need to travel from platform 18 to platform 9. I have tried many searches but have not come across any good information. Please let me know if you have any insight on the best way to change platforms in Nurnberg and if the 8 minutes is enough. Thanks!!! Dana

Hi We are planning to spend a few days in Nurnberg during the second week in December. We are a family of 4 (2 parents, with children aged 7 and 4), travelling with 2 grandparents, and are looking for value-for-money, family-friendly accommodation that is well located for public transport. We would ideally like 3 bedrooms, and the ability to self-cater would be a plus, but not essential. We would be happy to consider a gasthaus or an apartment, or perhaps there are other options that we haven't yet thought of? Any ideas? Regards Cathy

What's the best way to go from northern Italy; let's say Ttrento to Nuernberg? Train, airplane?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has ever heard of or made use of the sleep and go promotion by NH hotels, listed here: nh-hotels.com/nh/en/special-... and here: nh-hotels.com/nhportal/_jsp/... I am looking at staying at NH hotel nurnberg city with 2 others, and the sleep and go option is more than 10euros cheaper per night. However, there is scarcely any information on the conditions and we are confused about why the promotion tagline includes cars. Does taking up this promotion require us to hire cars from them? Or is it purely a promotional gimmick and all I have to pay for is the room? Thank you for any help you can give!

Hi, I'll have to spend a week (Mar 7)in Nuremberg for work. I will arrive on Sunday early afternoon. I plan to rush to quickly visit the castle: it already closes at 4pm! After that, I'll probably stroll around the old city, I've found a walking tour to print.. Now that should already give me a pretty good taste of the surroundings. Is there anything specific to do in the evenings? Since I suspect not that much, beer and food will be what is left ;-) I have already spotted a few place in the VT tips, a must seems to taste the Nurnberger in a a Bratwurst Hause(Barfüßer,Zur Goldenes Posthorn,...). Anything else I should absolutely taste? I have also spotted two alternatives if I become fed up of German food ;-) : Mexican (Enchilada) and Indian (Sur Mandir) Last question, is there anything specific running that week (starting March 7), most of the hotels were already full... Thanks in advance for your help and any comment about my plans...
