Customs / HabitsWith an important history, Nuremberg is now a major tourist destination in Bavaria. The city boasts a lively nightlife and a taste for local cuisine. The inhabitants of this Bavarian town are particularly proud of Nürnberger Rostbratwürste (a sausage). During the Christmas season, between November and December, the old town comes alive with vibrant and colorful stalls at the famous Christmas market.
Culture / Traditions
At the time of the Holy Roman Empire, Nuremberg was one of the main political centers throughout Europe. In particular, the town was a popular meeting place of the kings of Germany. Nuremberg played a vital role in the industrial revolution. In fact, in mid-1800, this city had the honor of opening the country's first rail link.
At the end of World War II Nuremberg was almost razed to the ground. Today it is truly impressive to admire the careful reconstruction of the main buildings, churches, monuments and historic city walls. After the Second World War, the city was chosen as the site of trials for war crimes.
