Tourist Center
by blaird
Our first stop, and maybe the most important, was the stop at the tourist office. We went up to the counter and said the kinds of things we were interested in and they made suggestions...they were awesome.
this is a must first stop, they'll give you attraction info, bus info, and lodging info. Here are the vitals:
Tourist Information - opposite of the main railway station (Hauptbahnhof), Königstrasse 93

A weird road sign
by Mikebond
When my parents and I saw this road sign, we wondered what it meant. Cars cannot circulate, people cannot walk, children cannot play in the street and there can be no houses!?
VT-member ralph_II explains this sign marks the end of a street where kids play, so car can drive faster from there on. Thanks, Ralph!
Theater
by AnnaLupilla about Kleine Komödie
In company with "Conödie Fürth", "Kleine Komödie Nürnberg" is amongst the leading entertainment theaters in the northern part of Bavaria. Next to cabaret-shows sometimes prominent actors like Ingrid Steeger, Peer Augustinski or Joachim Fuchsberger show up.
Nürnberger Rostbratwurt
by globetrott about plenty of foodstands across town
Nürnberger Rostbratwürste are a must when you are in Nürnberg and you may get them at many restaurants and food-stands in Nürnberg and also in the Handwerkshof.
Of course you may taste them all over Germany and Austria, but here they are best !! Nürberger Rostbratwurst - sometimes simply called "Nürnberger" - are rather small, white pork-sausages with special spices and they will be roasted unill they get a brown skin.
Mostly they are served with Sauerkraut and mustard and taste really great and are even a rather cheap meal.
Inside the Opera House
by Nemorino
When I first attended an opera in Nürnberg in 1997 the Opera House looked incredibly shabby inside, as though it hadn't been renovated for over forty years. The carpets, especially, were beyond repair, and had long strips of black tape all over them to cover up the ripped places. (I rather liked this because black tape is my favorite all-purpose cure for anything that is broken, so I was glad to see the opera people felt the same way.)
Since then they have done a thorough renovation, and the inside of the Opera House is now in good repair. True, there isn't much in the way of elaborate interior decoration, but the place now looks clean and elegant.
There are seats for 1074 spectators. On an average evening you could expect to pay EUR 51,30 for a seat in the most expensive section, and EUR 8,60 in the cheapest.
