Not only for damsels of the castle: discover the city centre of Nuremberg!

Kaiserburg, the landmark of Nuremberg, can be seen from afar and is a must-see item on any list of attractions, not to be missed even on a short trip to the city. The imposing castle offers fantastic views of the Old Town, which lies on the left and right of the Pegnitz River. The most beautiful view can be found from the Burgfreiung, or castle courtyard, next to the Kaiserburg.

The time leading up to Christmas is particularly charming in Nuremberg, when the world-famous Christmas market with its stalls on the main market square in the city centre and the pretty decorations of the city shine to their fullest splendour. Nuremberg's famous gingerbread and hearty Bratwurst sausages will taste twice as good in your free time. Anyone looking for a souvenir can find beautifully designed toys which the Bavarian Franconian metropolis is traditionally famous for.

The Old Town with its mediaeval flair and narrow, winding alleyways is surrounded by a five-km-long city wall. The Sheraton Carlton Nürnberg is centrally located within sight of the old city walls and is an ideal starting point for discovery tours. The Weissgerbergasse was once the heartland of craftspeople, and today it reminisces of the mediaeval heyday of Nuremberg. 

Anyone looking for the latest trends of the here and now can find a veritable shopping El Dorado in the city centre. Many people have already been tempted by the wares on offer in the Breiten Gasse or the Königsstrasse, just around the corner from the train station. And your spacious room in the Sheraton Carlton Nürnberg offers enough storage space for your new treasures and shopping bags.
