About Nuremberg

Nuremberg is the second largest city in the State of Bavaria. Its unique traditionalism can be seen immediately from the numerous historical buildings spread throughout its districts. The town’s castle is a striking symbol of the city and is one of Europe’s oldest fortifications.

One of the joys of traveling by bus is that you can always be sure you and your shopping bags will get from A to B and back again safely and efficiently – no problem with FlixBus!

Places of Interest in Nuremberg

One of Nuremberg’s most popular churches is its Roman Catholic “Frauenkirche” located on the eastern side of the main market. Following the order of Emperor Charles IV, the construction began in 1349 and the inauguration of this striking Gothic style church was then fulfilled nine years later in 1358. During your visit to this church you should be sure to take time to look at the derived and preserved sculptures; thanks to the complex restorations that took place these sculptures are a popular attraction amongst our bus travelers. Another recommendation is the Old Town Albrecht Duerer House. Albrecht Duerer lived here from 1509 to 1528 and worked as a painter, graphic designer, mathematician and art theoretician. The structure was erected in 1420 – while the two lower floors were bricked in sandstone, the other two floors followed the upper half-timbered style of the period. Today the Albrecht Dürer building is one of Nuremberg’s city museums. A great destination for any bus traveler is the Nicolaus-Copernicus-Planetarium, which is located directly in the city center and will give you an exciting journey to the stars. Here you can see the solar system like you’ve never seen it before as Nuremberg’s Planetarium holds more information about our solar system and universe than any other museum in Bavaria; a fascinating trip for children and adults alike. After your bus trip to Nuremberg you will have had many opportunities to not only visit the landmarks of the city, but also get many different impressions from the wide variety of museums.

Culture and History of Nuremberg

For our historically inclined bus travelers visiting the south east of Nuremberg would definitely be a worthwhile trip to make. The Zeppelin Field is a very special national heritage and is one of the best ways to discover the truths and history of the Nazi Party Rally Grounds, an interesting and eye opening history lesson for all.
Founded in 1852, the Germanic National Museum in Nuremberg is the biggest museum in the German speaking region and exhibits many cultural, artistic and historical objects. The museum is made up of an extensive archive, a library, a conservation department and a teaching center. Every year it attracts around 400,000 visitors from all over the world – and is a popular destination for our bus travelers.
Another very special museum is the Nuremberg “Toy Museum” that was opened in 1971. Here you will find an extensive 1, 400m² spread of the history of toys. During industrialization Nuremberg was known as the toy city of the world. The “Toy Museum” display focuses on the past 200 years, containing a collection of over 65,000 objects from antique-like-toys to present-day items. However, around 150,000 visitors every year only get to see five percent of the objects as the remainder are stored in the museum depot.
For the art lovers amongst our passengers, as soon as your bus arrives to Nuremberg you should visit the academy of art. The history of the academy goes back to the 17th Century, making it one of the most traditional houses of its kind in the Federal Republic. The academy is still used today as a university for subjects in numerous artistic fields, and displays not only the student’s artistic creations but regularly exhibits work from famous artists.
