We are traveling to Nuremberg, my son is in military there and his wife is german they are having a baby and might not have time to take us places so I would like to know what is there to see and do April 7th thru April 14 in Nuremberg Germany or other close cities? Thanks.....
The town itself if very nice to explore. But found it a bit expensive due to large Japanese tourist. I was particularly attracted to the all year round Xmas shop!!! The town is along the Romantic road, so you could visit many many of the towns on that path.

Take a daytrip to UNESCO World Heritage site Bamberg, a town just half an hour away from Nürnberg by train. I haven't been there myself but you will find plenty of VT pages.
As for Nürnberg, there is loads. I have some of the sights on my page - the Reichsparteitagsgelände is eerie and a "must", and so too is the Burg and the area below it with artist Dürer's house :)
Then there are other daytrips to make, such as Augsburg, Rothenburg-ob-der-Tauber, Würzburg and Regensburg...
I don't remember how far it is, but Heidelberg is very nice...I think I drove through Nurenberg on my way to Heidelberg, so it can't be too far from it.
Also, don't forget that just because you're based in Germany doesn't mean that you have to remain in Germany. That's the beauty of Europe that most Americans miss...go check out France, Belgium (Brugges is gorgeous!), Czech, Switzerland, Poland, and wherever else you can get to while you're there. Don't limit yourself!
But since you only have a week, I'd concentrate on Bavaria. Don't think you can rush through Europe - all countries are different and it is nice to actually get to KNOW one... :)
I was in the Army and stationed in Bamberg, Germany (about 30 miles north of Nurenberg) and I would recommend it alot. It is a smaller city that is a world Heritage Site with LOTS of historic buildings and an old style Germany look but with all the amenities. You could hop a train there (they are always on time in my experience) or rent an inexpensive car to drive up there. It is a beautiful pedestrian style town you can walk all over in.
Hello:
Definitely plan on spending at least one day just exploring the OldTown of Nuernberg itself. It's a wonderful. pedestrian-friendly zone of shops, old churches, the 'Beautiful Fountain' , bridges and old monasteries, the Albrecht Duerer house, and of course the Kaiser's castle. (Where you can walk along the ramparts). There are lots of charming cafe's and restaurants along the way, perfect for people watching and soaking up the local atmosphere.
I am currently working on the tips, so please give me a little more time before you rate them and come back soon. I am currently working on the tips, so please give me a little more time before you rate them and come back soon.
Here at Schillerplatz 26 in Bamberg is where the author and composer E.T.A. Hoffmann lived from 1808 until 1813, just across from the theater which now bears his name.
His position as music director of the theater didn't last very long, so he soon had to make his living by giving music lessons to the daughters of well-to-do Bamberg families. One of these girls, Julia Marc, was only thirteen when Hoffmann started giving her voice lessons, and by the time she was fifteen he was hopelessly in love with her. Unfortunately he was twenty years older, and Julia's mother had already arranged for her to marry a rich merchant from Hamburg. Also Hoffmann was a rather small and unattractive man, and in any case he was already married to someone else.
Julia liked him well enough as a teacher and fatherly friend, but that wasn't what he wanted, and the whole thing turned out very badly, as do most of the love affairs in Hoffmann's stories and novellas.
In this house Hoffmann began writing his opera Undine, which was first performed in Berlin in 1816 and can still occasionally be seen in German opera houses. In fact, it was performed several times here in Bamberg last April, in a guest production by the Theatr Wielki in Poznan.
Nonetheless, Hoffmann is best known today as the hero of an opera, not as a composer.
Hoffmann's house is now a museum, which is open Tuesday-Friday from 16.00 to 18.00, Saturdays, Sundays and holidays from 10.00 to 12.00 (from May to October). Admission is EUR 2.00 (EUR 1.00 for students).
The family-owned Neef pastry shop is a local Nuremberg favorite. Karl Neef has trained in Switzerland and other countries and his experience shows. We were enticed by the window display as well as by full occupancy in the late afternnon and after waiting were seated at one of the small wooden tables with the blinding orange chairs. The interior, complete with glass display cases, could have been any coffee shop but the apple cake was absolutely superb - substantial yet light crust, lots of tart apples, just the right degree of sweetness - our best in Germany. Accompanied by excellent coffee, this was a perfect afternoon break.
The Neef family is quite well-known not only for their pastries but also for beautiful cakes for weddings and other events, Christmas pastries and cookies, and also a line of excellent and apparently costly chocolates. The glass display cases and window displays were very worthy of note. Our best apple pastry in Germany.
Hauptmarkt , meaning the main market is a square in the middle of The old town. During the whole year there are stalls where you could buy mainly fruits and vegetables. The market is very interesting in December when people from all over the region are coming to sell their special sweets and wine. Unfortunately my stay there was in November and I couldn’t enjoy it but I have heard a lot.
There can't be a child in the world who doesn't love to bake, and one of the most fun things we discovered to do at the Children's Christmas Market was decorating lebkuchen (traditional spicy gingerbread biscuits).
The biscuit dough is cut into a generously sized shape of your choice (stars, hearts and the like), and then you are given free rein to decorate it according to your own artistic instincts. Once you have finished, your masterpiece is popped into an oven, and emerges 8 minutes later.
The guy who runs this stall is wonderful with children, and ours absolutely loved the experience. I can't remember exactly how much it cost, but it wasn't expensive (certainly less than €5 each) and was a wonderfully festive thing to do. Better still, the lebkuchen actually tasted great. Highly recommended!
