1 Getting around Nürnberg

2 A warm welcome Your VGN ticket allows you to use about 780 bus and rail services: the underground (U-Bahn), the suburban railway (S-Bahn), trams and buses or regional trains. Excursions to the neighbouring cities of Fürth, Erlangen or Schwabach are tempting suggestions. Or what about a trip e.g. to Bamberg, Bayreuth or Lichtenfels. We wish you a lot of fun during your stay in Franconia and a pleasant travel with the VGN. More than 950 years old and not a bit tired. This is the impression given by the heart of the metropolitan area of Nürnberg. It is just as suitable for trade exhibition and congress guests as it is for culture- and experienceseeking tourists. In addition to the airport and exhibition centre, Nürnberg also boasts a romantic old city that contains everything you could possibly wish for: interesting shops, cosy pubs, inviting beer gardens and, in-between, charming squares full of historic buildings. The Christmas Market and Albrecht Dürer are just two of the city s numerous trademarks - along with the Spielwarenmesse, of course. The Kaiserburg, the large churches and the Hand werker hof (Craftsman s Courtyard) are all among the city s mustsee attractions. As are the city s impressive museums, which include the Germanisches Nationalmuseum, the largest museum of German art and culture in Germany, and the Dokumentationszentrum Reichsparteitagsgelände (Documentation Centre Nazi Party Rally Grounds). There s a lot to discover and experience. The Nürnberg VGN public transport link system makes your discovery trail even more attractive with an efficient network of transport links.
