Nuremberg’s landmark is undoubtedly the imperial castle where the old days of the kings become present. Towering over Nuremberg, it offers you a unique view of the city and its surroundings which you shouldn’t miss.
Or do you prefer spine chilling histories and spooky vaults? Then the "Medieval Dungeons" are exactly right for you. Established in the 14th century, twelve tiny cells and one torture chamber will give you an idea of justice practices in former times.
Among Nuremberg’s most famous museums figure the Germanic National Museum with its “Human Rights Road”, the Neues Museum, a museum for modern art and design , the Fembohaus City Museum with its multivision show “Noricama”, the Toy Museum and the Albrecht Dürer House as an homage to the well known Nuremberg born artist.

To illustrate Nuremberg’s Nazi past, the “Documentation Centre Nazi Party Rally Grounds” house a permanent exhibition entitled “Faszination und Gewalt” (Fascination and Terror) dealing with the causes, relationships and consequences of the Nazi tyranny.
