Best Nuremberg holiday apartments

History comes alive in Nuremberg, a city where the medieval and modern nestle comfortably together to recapture the charm and atmosphere of times long gone. The city, called Nürnberg in German, is a remarkable survivor having been razed to the ground in the Second World War and then meticulously rebuilt using the original stone. What stands today is a testament to the energy and ingenuity of a population who have made it one of the most liveable cities in the world and certainly one of its most vibrant. Experience the energy for yourself by renting a holiday apartment in Nuremberg from 9flats, an arrangement that lets you see the city through the eyes of those who live there and know it best.

Avoid the tourist trails with a holiday apartment in Nuremberg

9flats gets you away from the big hotels and tourist traps by offering private homes for rent. It gives you all the local flavour that couchsurfing in Nuremberg would provide but is a lot more comfortable because the accommodation is exclusively yours to use. Whether it’s Hollywood style holiday accommodation in Los Angeles or a vacation home in Athens 9flats offers the best of both worlds – a private place to stay while living as one of the locals. In Nuremberg your holiday apartment will be a base for the vacation of your choice, whether it is experiencing the lively nightlife or exploring a history that goes back to the days of the Holy Roman Empire.

Sightseeing from your Nuremberg holiday accommodation

One of the first places to visit from your holiday flat in Nuremberg should be the Hauptmarkt, a bustling place in the heart of the city which is graced with the beautiful facade of the Frauenkirche church. A daily market is held there so it is great for stocking up on supplies. The surrounding lanes of the Old Town are fascinating to explore – best on foot – and the Kaiserburg Castle is a must with its 1200 year-old five-cornered tower. And if you work up an appetite with all that walking don’t miss one of the local specialities. Nuremberg is famous for its small Bratwurst sausages, gingerbread and dark beer, probably best tasted separately. Being located in Bavaria, your holiday flat could also be an ideal base for exploring the region’s spectacular mountains and forests.

Christmas in a Nuremberg holiday apartment

A highlight of the year in Nuremberg is the famous Christmas market which draws visitors in their thousands from all over the world. Held in the Old Town, the opening ceremony is always spectacular while the stalls and displays lend a special seasonal magic to the historical surroundings. It can get crowded on weekends but if you are living in the city you should be able to find a quiet time to visit. After Nuremberg you could try another Bavarian holiday home by renting a vacation home in Munich or explore further afield with a holiday apartment in Berlin. With 9flats the world becomes your home.
