Other sights of Nuremberg

Although we spent a good deal of time exploring the Christmas market, we did see a few other sights in Nuremberg including Kaiserburg (c. 1050), the Imperial Castle used at one time by the Holy Roman Emperors. I am not sure what I enjoyed more: seeing the castle itself or the Nuremberg skyline frosted with snow.















During our brief stint in Nuremberg, we explored other parts of the city, including a bit of the medieval wall fortifications, which are in quite good condition and included a number of towers and gates (first photo below), as well as other historical old buildings and bridges along the Pegnitz River.









Night falls on Nuremberg.





And before I get the question: Yes, you can tour the grounds where the Nuremberg Nazi rallies were held as well as the courtroom where the Nuremberg trials took place. Sadly, the hours of touring are greatly reduced in winter months, and therefore, these sightseeing spots were not options on this trip.
