Very impressive castle. A capital of European Kings from 11 till 16 centuries. Place where Holy Roman empire was ruled from. Building itself is really big on the top of the hill. Views around are amazing. Very strongly recommended!

The outside structure of the castle is really nice to take a stroll around, however I don’t think there’re much to see inside the paid area, since 70% of the castle was destroyed during WWII. There’s only one room that’s well preserved, other are just texts and objects.

If you decide to pay for the ticket, I do recommend to visit the TOWER u0026 the deep WELL as well. The view is really nice up there.

Beautiful castle! Like most historic things in Europe, under construction... But still very beautiful to walk around. The interior was closed, whether for the day or just temporarily I'm not sure, but you can still walk the grounds, enjoy the view overlooking the city, and see all of the architecture. Highly recommend a tour, we didn't have one but passed by a few that were sharing some very interesting facts!

One of the most beautiful places in Nuremberg! Whenever I bring new people to the city, I make sure to show them this. The views from the castle are stunning and there’s a museum and lovely garden nearby. There aren’t any buses directly up, though, so it might not be completely accessible for physically disabled people.

Nice place. Going up worths it because of the sight from the top terrace of the wall. In the back, there is an extensive garden to walk through. From this point you can go back to downtown having a nice walk close to the wall. Free entrance. A "must" if you are in Nuremberg

Beautiful uphill castle, very well maintained, around which there is the old city of Nuremberg and which offers a great view on Nuremberg city. Make sure you wear comfortable shoes as you need to walk up quite a bit.

Amazing place with great history. At weekdays there are not so much tourists, but you can see all the old city from here! The night view is unforgettable!
