"Perched above the city, the large Imperial Castle marks Nürnberg as a stronghold of the Holy Roman Empire and attests to the city's prominence around 1500." - RICKSTEVES

Nuremberg Castle Beautiful castle with great panoramic views of the city! 🏰✨ The climb up gives you a bit of a sweat, but totally worth it once you reach the top — the scenery is amazing. Perfect spot for photos and enjoying the old-town vibe from above.

Great castle with a trove of history and stories. For me a clear 5 star experience. I wished the exhibition were a little more interactive. It's mostly reading long paragraphs and thus a little too time intensive.

One of the iconic castles of Germany, with loads of imperial connections, and well worth braving the rather steep ascent (the views are great, too). Part of the fortifications that lure you up are actually the city wall, not the castle proper, but the overall effect is what counts. If you are spendthrift, skip the castle interior (interesting, but nor overwhelming), and definitely do not eat there (much better value can be found around the nearby Dürerhaus or in town).

Definitely worth the price of admission. Lots of walking so wear good shoes. Make sure to check out the bridge near the bus drop-off point for the best view. No photography once you are inside. The castle is fabulous. There are bathrooms and a small Cafe inside. Get there early to avoid the crowd.

One of the most well kept castles for its size and age. Not a lot of English info so prepare to get the audio guide if you want to know more about the castle. Had fun climbing the tower and the views of Nuremberg were unmatched!

Very nice castle situated right in the city centre of Nuremberg. Easy to get to and parking is good. No lines easy to buy tickets. We didn’t visit all the castle due to time. But we did buy tickets to the tower which also give you a free cave tour and the views from the top can’t be beat can see the whole city and castle from above. A lot of stair but worth it. Ticket is €4 for the tower. €14 for all I believe. If your in the city worth a visit you can enter the castle ground for free and many people were doing just that. Cafe there aswell which was very busy.

The Nuremberg Imperial Castle (Kaiserburg) isn't just a building; it’s a massive, centuries-old scene waiting to be captured. Walk through this place and you’re stepping directly into the Holy Roman Empire’s history album. ​For hundreds of years, every new Emperor held his very first major assembly right here. It’s where serious power was literally framed in thick sandstone.

Very nicely maintained. Near to city center and takes around 10-15 mins walk to reach at the top. A bit steep way to climb up, but view from the castle is nice.
