If you like castles this has a lot to offer. I went to visit the tower for the view which was amazing. Good walk up the hill to it as well.
The Nuremberg castle is not comparable with Ludwig castles but it is really nice anyway and it worth a visit. Really interesting the deep well and the view from the tower!
it has a great view over the city. I choose the kart b that included castle and museum. the objects on display are written in german. If don't know much about german history I guess will not be so interesting. Maybe with audio guide it help. It is an extra 2 euros. The ticket was 5,50. I expect it a little more
I went here during the Christmas Holiday period of time. My first trip up was at night, in the snow. There was a giant Christmas tree at a overlook at the castle. At night, with the snow, lit tree and view of the city the presence of the castle was much differnt than my daytime experience here, it was much worth the trip. I went back during the day. I went to the museum. It was very good with a lot of interesting local history about the castle and Nurnberg. The view of the city from the castle is also very good. Definately worth the walk or ride up the hill. The S-bahn goes within a about 400-500 yards of the castle enterance.
A very nice castle with not so many spaces to visit but when you climb the 113 stairs (yes I counted them) to go to the top of the tower you are going to enjoy an uninterupted view.
No way to see the castle unless you pay for a tour. Be advised. However, after the steep climb up the hill, the views are amazing and worth the effort!
As a castle goes I would rate it as average. It is not a glorious castle. The grounds are okay, and the city is all around it. However, the castle is on what seems to be the highest vantage point for viewing the rest of the city, and the castle walls are impressive in that old Nuremberg had some of the best fortifications for keeping out intruders which makes it worth visiting. Climb up to the viewing areas to behold the old city of Nuremberg.
The castle itself is beautiful..the exhibition inside the castle museum is good. However the best part was to go up the spiral staircase up the Sinwellturm (Sinwell Tower) and getting the splendid view of the whole city of Nuremberg! Better to pay a combination tickets for a price of EUR7.00 to get access to all the places of the Imperial Castle.You can take photos inside the museum (but no flash allowed).Or else, just view the city from the castle ground; that was equally pleasant :)
Well worth visiting the castle. While it is steep climbing up (not ideal for those that have mobility difficulties), at the top you have wonderful views of Nuremberg.
The views are the best part of the castle. We had a city pass so we decided to tour the castle. Although we didn't know what to expect, there really isn't much to see. Understandably given the history, but really it's just a museum and while some of the larger signs are in German and English, most of the smaller detailed signs are all in German, so we couldn't read about what we were looking at. We climbed to the top of the tower and that was probably the best part because of the views.
