    The Kaiserburg delivered more than I expected. Granted, seeing the imperial castle involves a lot of stair-climbing, but the formal rose garden itself was worth the effort and granted a striking view....  more

  • By Emmanuel Philip
    One of the best tourist attractions in Nuremberg. Buy the combination tickets to visit the castle, tower and the well. It's definitely worth it. You can easily spend close to 2 - 3 hours here. The view from the top of the tower is spectacular. Highly recommended.
  • By Igor Burliai
    Great experience. Inner chambers worth visiting too. Before the visit I had no clue about Holy Roman Empire on German lands and now I feel myself as a semipro on that matter. Very good quality souvenirs and n the souvenir shop as well
