Solo travel

I visited Nuremberg just for a day since I live nearby, and it was a great experience. I felt completely safe the whole time. I recommend checking out Kaiserburg Castle and strolling through the old town — it’s really charming. I had lunch at “Bratwurst Röslein” — tasty and not expensive. I didn’t stay overnight, so I can’t say anything about accommodation. I spent around 20 euros for the day. Getting around was super easy on foot and by tram

Nuremberg is a place when I felt safe and it has become totally iconic for me! I’ve been there for a few days (cheap flights) and it’s really worth it. First of all, I can highly reccomend long walks through the town; it’s really cute and I’m sure you’re gonna like it. German which I met were very helpful, but still all you need is map. Museum DB (of communication) and museum of Albrecht Durer (who was born here) were really cool to see too.

Nuremberg is pretty safe. I would try to stay out of plärrer and the main train station during the night. It's not "dangerous" rather uncomfortable bc there are many drunk people at night. Overall you feel pretty comfy here

I feel safe here but I’m not sure all areas are. But here is a little bit student city and feel relax. I couldn’t experience with a family and night out situations. Cause I love my home so much. Nurnberg have some big city problems like cleaning or drunk people. But not a big issue (as my experience).

During the night I'd be staying in places where there are more people so you're fine. I personally would tend to stay away from the south part of the city at night. Otherwise especially during the day it's totally fine!

There are some places, that aren’t totally safe at night, especially for women. But overall i feel like nürnberg is pretty safe. The only unpleasant experiences were in school or a low rated club, so watch out for those!
