Is Nuremberg worth visiting?

Solo travel

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.

I think it’s pretty pretty safe. I’ve been out all night by myself and apart from the train stations and eve teasers I feel safe everywhere else. The police is also accessible. If you ignore the crackheads near the hbf you’ll be fine. It’s probably one of the safest medium cities

Nuremberg is overall a pretty safe City in my opinion. Have been here a few times and never really noticed anything suspicious or weird. Never had an on edge feeling either. Have also been solo most of the time and never had any issues at all. I would say it’s definitely a good enjoyment and night life for any age group is pretty enjoyable and always find new people that are very kind as well. Trains are also very safe for any solo travelers. Would definitely recommend!

About Me

Hey there! I’m Khushi, 23, from India, but I’m currently living in Nürnberg, Germany. I’m all about budget-friendly travel (without skimping on safety, of course) and love meeting new people to share cultures and stories with. Always up for a good adventure and making friends along the way! I love to cook from different cuisines, pick up quirks from travel buds. I’d love to host but I live in a dorm so I don’t have enough space. Maybe when I get my own space I will :) I am always trying to start quirky travel traditions and one thing I want to do more is try to learn a song or a favorite phrase from people I met during my travels. You can talk to me in your language, teach me anything you want from your culture, that’ll be my gift from you :) If I had to describe myself as a travel +1 I’d say I’m very easy going and like to take things slow. I’m passionate, and I’m open to learning new things. And I’m also very respectful, so I’d only expect the same :)
