N?rnberg
by tini58de
Nuremberg is the largest city in Franconia and in terms of population it is the second largest city in Bavaria and the thirteenth largest in Germany.
Nuremberg has a lovely old city which can easily be explored by foot - and it is really worthwhile a stop!
Street musicians
by Mikebond
If you go for a walk across the pedestrian streets in the centre of Nürnberg, you will likely see some streets musicians, as I did. The band in this photo came from Russia and played classical music by Russian componists. I liked them very much and I even bought a CD for 15 euro (too much?).
Bar
by AnnaLupilla about Bar Blau
"Blue Bar" really is a hip place, which is combinated with the biergarten of "Kettensteg", a traditional Nürnberg location. The bar is in the lower part of the beergarden and for sure is one of the trendiest location in Nürnberg to get delicious cocktails while listening to great music.
Happy Hour 6 to 8 p.m. and for daiquiris from 11 p.m.
Australian ice-cream. Of course. What else?
by leics about Australian
Well.
Not really what I expected to find in Germany!
The Australian is on the southern end of the Fleischbrucke, a prime position. It serves ice-cream (obviously), coffee etc, with tables outside.
I tried some of their ice-cream, because the novelty of home-made Australian ice-cream could not be missed. It was very pleasant.
Not a patch on Italian ice-cream, I'm afraid, but perfectly acceptable.
You may wish to try it out of sheer curiosity, like me. :-)
Albrecht Dürer's House
by Sjalen
This is the house that the famous artist Dürer bought when he could afford it. He turned it into a home and studio, and made the house alive with printing, etching and painting. When he wasn't thinking about the world in general or inviting academic friends...or travelling around Europe. I didn't know anything about Dürer before, other than that he was a famous German artist. Here, I learnt about his background, paintings, contacts with other great thinkers of the time, family, and the general philosophy of his days. Quite Germany's answer to Da Vinci, I now hope to read a book about him as I was totally absorbed by this very special personality. There is another photo in my City views travelogue, showing the house's position next to the city wall.
Today, you wander around with an audioguide and listen to his wife Agnes telling you the story of their life in the absolutely gorgeous house, and get quite a bit on life in Nürnberg at the time thrown in.
