Nuremberg Castle is one of the largest in Europe, from which you have a gorgeous view of the Old City. Scattered throughout Nuremberg are many great examples of half-timbered houses and traditional German architecture. Nuremberg is one of the more beautiful German cities I have visited. If you're interested in history you must also make a stop at the Nuremberg Palace of Justice where you can enter the courtroom where the Nuremberg Trials were held.
