Description by the author

Nürnberg is a city in the state of Bavaria. It is one of the few cities in Germany that still has its original fortresses and towers. The historic center is divided in two by the river Pegnitz. Different beautiful bridges connect the two districts with each other. The most important sights in the city are the Nürnberger Burg, the Germanisches Nationalmuseum and the house of Albrecht Dürer. Discover it all along this eight-kilometer-long city walk, which starts and ends at the Nürenberg station.
