14th-century graveyard with many famous citizens, including Albrecht Dürer and Adam Kraft. In summer the gardens are a riot of roses and other colourful flowers. You can walk here along Johannisstraße but the street is mostly modern, busy and uninteresting. Alternatively follow the river walk west from Hallertor. This eventually leads into Lindengasse which curls north to the church. Continue the riverside walk west for a couple of hours to reach the town of Fürth. The main sights there are the old streets, the Jewish Museum, the Radio Museum, and Town Hall. You'll probably prefer to ride back to the city, on U-1 or S-1.

Turm der Sinne
Interactive science museum with emphasis on human perception
Closed during Winter (17 Dec to 1 Mar)
The house in which the painter Albrecht Dürer lived and worked from 1509 until 1528. Representative of a wealthy house of that period. Exhibition about life in the house and the way Dürer worked.
Nürnberger Unterwelten
Part of the labyrinth of tunnels underneath the city, but separate from the Felsengänge tour (listed above). During World War II this and other bunkers were converted into safe storage for the city's art treasures, with temperature and humidity controls and extra security. Frequent tours in German, but tours can be organised for up to 25 in English, French, Italian, Spanish and Czech.
Spielzeugmuseum
Nuremberg was one of the centres of the German toy industry. The exhibition shows wooden and metal toys, dolls and doll houses, model railways and modern toys.
Kaiserburg
The western and most prestigious part, grouped around the inner courtyard. It was the temporary residence of the Holy Roman Emperors. The ticket includes the Palas (residential building), the double chapel, and the Imperial Castle Museum in the Bower. The Sinwell Tower offers a panorama of the city, while the "Deep Well" (Tiefer Brunnen) can be visited via a short guided demonstration.
Nürnberger Burg
The Nuremberg Castle is the rambling fortification that dominates the old town. While it appears to be one massive fortress, it historically consists of three distinct parts that often stood in conflict with one another.
