We arrived in Nuremburg to find our hotel was right in the town centre - tiny cobblestoned lanes with heaps of tourists walking about and car parks the size of matchboxes! These towns are not built for cars and they do their best to keep them out. On the plus side our hotel had its own car park (it was one where they stack the cars vertically) so at least we were close to everything.We wandered around town, as usual checking out the churches, city walls, town square, statues, bridges, etc. We also took a walk around Nuremberg Castle, though we were there at the end of the day so we couldn't get inside.
The old town centre was lovely to walk around, and relatively quiet too once the streets were cleared by a sudden downpour. The buildings were so authentic, and there were some great sculptures in some of the squares, certainly not what we'd expected given what we'd known of Nuremberg's history (Nazi rallies, etc.). We were also interested to find an "Australian" ice cream and chocolate shop, selling chocolates with aboriginal designs on them, but from what we could tell the chocolates were made in Germany!
