4 / 8There is always a lot going on at the Schöner Brunnen in Nuremberg, as it is located on the main market, which is busy at almost any time.
The Beautiful Fountain was built at the end of the 14th century.
“The main attraction of the hundred-year-old copy of the fountain on the main market is without a doubt the rotating, shimmering gold ring, which was mysteriously inserted into the grid without a seam and is said to fulfill wishes,” it says on the city portal.

7 / 8The Toy Museum is a weather-independent activity in Nuremberg.
“Nuremberg has been the toy city since the Middle Ages.
There were toy companies in the small streets of Nuremberg's old town and in almost all parts of the city: hundreds!
Wooden toys, tin figures, doll kitchens, shops and especially tin toys were manufactured in Nuremberg.
Today Nuremberg is the headquarters of the world's largest international toy fair.
The toy museum shows old toy treasures and new world toys on an area of 1,400 square meters: Lego, Barbie, Playmobil, Matchbox.
In summer, the outdoor museum playground and the museum café in the inner courtyard are attractive,” it says on the museum’s homepage.

8 / 8 “Even today, gigantic building remains on the former Nazi party rally grounds in the south of Nuremberg bear witness to the megalomania of the National Socialist regime.
The aim was to create a monumental backdrop for the NSDAP's self-dramatization on eleven square kilometers,” reports the city of Nuremberg on its website. The Nazi Party Rally Grounds Documentation Center has been located in the north wing of the congress hall since 2001.
The permanent exhibition deals with the causes, connections and consequences of the National Socialist tyranny.
The focus is on topics directly related to Nuremberg.
