GERMANY: With its medieval architecture, Nuremberg is a city full of history, charm and diversity - a wonderful place to explore on foot! Whether through winding alleyways in the old town, along natural riverbanks or on a detour into the past, here's our top five walks in Nuremberg. With its central location, the Adina Hotel Nuremberg is the ideal starting point. 

Through The Medieval Houses of Weißgerbergasse Gasse

Anyone exploring Nuremberg should take a detour to the picturesque Weißgerbergasse. Home to the city's largest ensemble of historic craftsmen's houses with charming half-timbered façades, a stroll through Weißgerbergasse takes you back to the Middle Ages. Once home to wealthy tanners, the lovingly restored buildings are now a lively mix of cafés, bars and boutique shops. Take the route from Adina Nuremberg towards the main market, past St Sebald's Church and through the wine market, directly into Weißenberger Gasse. This walk combines the past with the present and is a must for anyone wanting to discover Nuremberg on foot.

Along The Pegnitz River

If you long for nature and idyllic scenery on your city trip, follow the Pegnitz route towards the next city of Fürth. From Adina Nuremberg, walk about 10 minutes to the Kettensteg, cross the Pegnitz and follow the river towards the left. After crossing the Hallerwiese park, take a short detour to the Hesperidengärten and the historic Johannisfriedhof cemetery. The route then meets with the river again, where you can immerse yourself in the nature of Pegnitz meadows and valleys, and relax with a picnic in the countryside. If you fancy a longer walk, you can follow the Pegnitz to Fürth City Park or even to Fürth city centre, where a cosy old town with charming alleyways awaits. From there, you can easily take the underground back to Nuremberg.

Historic Rock Corridors: Discover Nuremberg's Underworld

A walk underground? It's possible in Nuremberg! The Historic Rock Corridors, an extensive labyrinth of sandstone cellars, take visitors into a fascinating underworld. They were originally used to store beer from the Middle Ages onwards, and later as shelters during the Second World War. The tour leads through cool, mystical corridors that tell exciting stories from Nuremberg's past. An experience that shows Nuremberg from a completely new perspective and promises a special mixture of history and adventure. The entrance to the Felsengänge is located at Bergstraße 19, tickets are available directly on site or at the Tourist Information office.
