"The second-biggest city within the whole of the Bavaria state, Nuremberg (Nürnberg) is a spirited and stimulating city, which tries hard to shake off its definite Nazi legacy and Nuremberg Trials past. Today, the city looks forward and tries to promote itself, its famous sausages, and its tourism wherever possible, by hosting a number of major annual events, such as the magnificent Christmas Market, which draws crowds of literally thousands.

Much of the best sightseeing in the city of Nuremberg awaits within the boundaries of the Altstadt, the Old Town quarter. Highlights here include the pedestrian thoroughfare of the Königstrasse (Ko), the Pegnitz River, and the Altstadt Walking Tours, which covers a circuit of the area and passes the Nuremberg Castle along the way."
