    Always lots of activity
    If you're in Nuremberg for any period of time you'll become very familiar with old square at the heart of the old town. There always seems to be a market of some kind going on, the mechanical clock on the church to listen to, the wondrous 'beautiful' fountain' and much else besides. A great place to gravitate to late in the day and have an aperol spritz while watching all the (other!) tourists.

    Enjoyable
    Lots of stalls with fresh fruit and vegetables, located near a few bridges which cross the Pegnitz River on Konigstrasse. Nearby is the golden Beautiful Fountain. Didn't see too many souvenirs here. Ice cream and gelato are everywhere.

    Beautiful city and nostalgic Christmas market
    I experience the characterful Nurberg once you enter the city from afar. The beautiful architecture is unique here at every street we walked. The Christmas market just outside main train station is so alive and the snow just adds to the christmas-ty vibe. We grab hot coffee at one of the cosy cafe 12 here and people are so friendly. Not only here, as walk toward the town square, there were more Christmas market stalls as far as we could see. Definitely a great place to feel the Christmas mood during this festive. 👍🏻

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This old market square is a nice part of the town with some famous old buildings, churches and „der Schoene Brunner”. The main square is a good meetingpoint, too. We enjoyed walking there and saw the market with different, interesting products. It’s worth a visit. photos.

In walking around the Old Town, you just cannot miss the open air market. We were there in early Spring and the white and green asparagus was just so abundant. In the States, you don't see white asparagus much but here in Europe, it is everywhere and huge stalks.

This is a good size market with a variety of interesting stalls. The square is attractive with plenty to see and some nice architecture. The shops here are good quality too we were tempted on a few occasions.
There are plenty of places to eat and drink too and this gives the square a vibrant atmosphere. Easy to walk around and a nice blend of locals and tourists.
