On the Sandstone rock in the north of the historical city of Nuremberg stands Kiserburg Nurberg (or Nuremberg Castle in English). According to the history, this vast royal complex along with the city walls is considered as the most ‘formidable medieval fortification’. Don’t miss out the tour to the Palas (residential wing) to see the royal Knight and Imperial Hall and the Romanesque Double Chapel. A trip to the Kiserburg museum will give a glance to the historical background of the castle. If you wish to get the perfect panoramic view of the city, climb up the Sinwell Tower. Apart from that, don’t miss out the Castle Garden and Maria Sibylla Meridian Garden, especially Am Olberg, the most popular spot.
