Nuremberg Maps and Orientation

(Nuremberg, Bavaria, Germany)



Standing within the state of Bavaria, Nuremberg lies in southern Germany and is known for its reconstructed city walls, which surround the historic Altstadt district. Nuremberg has grown around the Pegnitz River and is also home to the acclaimed Rhine-Main-Danube Canal, a particularly important Bavarian waterway that links both the Danube River and the Main River.

Within Nuremberg's Altstadt old town area you will find many of the city's best tourist attractions, most of which are within walking distance of each other. The Hauptbahnhof train station is sited on the outskirts of the Altstadt area and to the south-east. This spot is connected to the very heart of Nuremberg by the Königstrasse, an important local thoroughfare next to the winding Pegnitz River.
