Nuremberg

Two-day city break in medieval Nuremberg by rail from Switzerland

Illustration of Nuremberg

Railtour Suisse offers a compact two-day city break in Nuremberg, Bavaria's second-largest city, accessible by 2nd-class rail from Switzerland. The trip centres on exploring medieval Nuremberg, famous for its half-timbered architecture, the castle that overlooks the old town, and the Pegnitz river. You stay one night in a three-star hotel in the city centre. The package emphasizes local culture and food: original Nuremberg grilled sausage at traditional bratwurst kitchens and gingerbread from the Christmas market (in season) are highlights. Museums and the city's living history fill the days. This short package suits history enthusiasts, food travellers, and those seeking an efficient two-day escape from Switzerland without lengthy daily travel. The modest price makes it accessible to budget-minded rail travellers.
