Nuremberg has retained its medieval flair. The Imperial Castle, Christkindlesmarkt and an underground labyrinth are unique experiences. The Franconian city of Nuremberg impresses visitors with its medieval old town, the only major German city to be surrounded by a city wall. Founded in the ninth century, the city is dominated today by the Imperial Castle. If you walk from this landmark to the equally medieval White Tower, you will pass picturesque half-timbered houses, the Henkerssteg and the main market square. This is where the Christmas market takes place during Advent. After the opening by the Rauschgoldengel, not only Christmas decorations but also the famous gingerbread are on sale. While sightseeing, a walk through Nuremberg's underworld is also recommended. The vaults and corridors carved out of the rock in the 14th century form a fascinating labyrinth. The ideal starting point for all tours is the IntercityHotel Nürnberg.
