There is a Gothic spire fountain near the market square, which is colorful and gorgeous. Unfortunately, there is a fence outside, so you can't see it up close. It is said that turning the ring on the fence can bring good luck.
This is also a place where you can make a wish. It's a very unique fountain. The surrounding square is also very interesting. It is also the building in the center of the city. Tour groups also come here to play. You can shop and stroll around here.

This is a very interesting place. Although there are not many tourists, it is actually suitable for all ages. You can see all kinds of toys in this museum. Some toys are very old, but they are still well preserved and very beautiful. My favorite is the kind of toys that are like playing house. There are all kinds of small houses in them. It feels like a microcosm of that era.
This city, which has been the center of German handicrafts since the Middle Ages, also took advantage of the good opportunity when tin toys dominated the time and became the world's toy capital. The museum, which is not very large, has also set aside several areas for children to play with toys by themselves.

St. Lawrence Church is located in the south of the old town of Nuremberg, and stands out among the red-roofed houses. Its walls with the marks of time, its towering twin towers, and its giant rose windows all reveal its typical medieval Gothic style.
Nuremberg St. Lawrence Church is tall and majestic. It is a gray building. Now the appearance gives people a sense of the vicissitudes of the times. The interior of the church is very solemn and sacred. I have been there many times to feel the atmosphere.

Nuremberg was also a very important military city in Germany during World War II. There are many historical buildings left over from the war. The air-raid shelters are located in the old city, and there are very well preserved tunnels and buildings, which you can visit inside.

A very original and pure German Artisan Art Square. There are many wooden buildings scattered throughout the square. It is also a place worth visiting for traditional German handicraft merchants. There are also several good shops in the designated area of the square.
The Artisan Square is located in front of the right side of Nuremberg Railway Station and is the only way to enter the old town. There is a thick black cylindrical tower on the square, which is very eye-catching. This tower is called the King's Tower. Nuremberg's tourist information center is nearby. There are many traditional German wooden houses in the Artisan Square, which are very retro buildings and reproduce the appearance of the toy market in the past.
