The castle is nestled on a hilltop on the farthest point north of the center of town. The roads/streets leading you to it are quite narrow and there is a bit of construction (repaving) going on, bu be sure to go. Once up top, you get an incredible view of the entire city! It is fabulous and helps you determine... More

The Nuremberg Castle is not exactly what I think of as a castle, but it was very beautiful and the view from there is good. I enjoyed seeing the rest of the town from up above. Wish I could've seen the inside, but it is closed for renovations.

It's worth walking up to take in the fantastic views and the garden is very nice. I hope the renovations pay off. Didn't take the tour when I went as I was pressed for time and had heard it wasn't worth the money, but I got a lot out of touring the castle grounds.

The imposing castle dominates on the city from every part of the town you are. Unfortunately the interior rooms were under refurbishment and we could not visit them. Nice panoramic view on the city and the surroundings.

The castle is in a very good location standing on the hill next to the old town. Good views from the walls. Unfortunately during our visit the castle was under renovations and the insides were not wort visiting according to the tourist information office at the castle.

It makes the town, roots it in history. A lot of it is being renovated inside; I wouldn't bother with the tour, which has been reduced to ten minutes. But wander the grounds and marvel at medieval aggression. You can jsut imagine Game of Thrones!

The walk to the castle was nice and the view from the top was great too. I just found the exhibition very basic with no English explanations. The guided tours were only in German which I was going to do but had no idea where the group was meeting! The main exhibitions were closed as well. The walk through the... More

A must visit when in Nurnberg, but unfortunately a big part is under construction now. Will look forward to visit when works are over. Best views of the city
