Rothenburg has made a concerted effort to preserve its medieval heritage, and Old Town reflects the historic fruits of this labor.
Christmas market we took our granddaughter to see the Christmas markets in Germany in the city and the Christmas market was a wonderful experience. The time itself without the Christmas market is a worthwhile experience because it had very little damage from the war And a lot of the structures are still intact if you are in Germany it’s a definite place you have to visit

Each year, Heidelberg Palace attracts around one Million visitors from all over the world. Since the 19th century, These impressive ruins have been synonymous with Romanticism. The Heidelberg Tun, the statues on the facade and the gardens of the palace are Highlights of any visit.
A must do in Heidelberg.Take the funicular railway to the castle and enjoy fantastic views over the city.A guided tour of the castle allows a much better insight the the history and the lives of nobility who lived there. If you have lunch at the castle cafe-the apple strudel and the rhubarb water are highly recommended.

From the 10th century onwards, this town became an important link with the Slav peoples, especially those of Poland and Pomerania. During its period of greatest prosperity, from the 12th century onwards, the architecture of Bamberg strongly influenced northern Germany and Hungary. In the late 18th century it was the centre of the Enlightenment in southern Germany, with eminent philosophers and writers such as Hegel and Hoffmann living there.
This beautiful UNESCO town has managed to maintain its medieval feel which makes for a very interesting walk I through the old town. The highlight for us was the walk along the river, over the bridge to the connecting buildings, view of little Venice and the jail and on to the Cathedral. The view of the Altstadt from the river is stunning! A speciality of this town is the smokey bacon flavoured beer which is an acquired taste! A lovely town to walk and explore!

The Old Town of Heidelberg starts from Sofienstrasse and brings you to the castle. In the middle there is the University Area (the oldest university in Germany), the main shopping street (Hauptstrasse) and it includes to famous Karl-Theodor-Bridge / the Old bridge.
Exploring the Old Town makes the best day trip. It is such a beautiful city and it is very easy to walk between all of the main sights in this area. TIPS: 1. TRAIN - My most important tip if you’re arriving by train is to make sure that you get off at Heidelberg Alstadt station. This will place you right at the Old Town. Don’t do what we did and leap off at Heidelberg Hbf (Central Station). We had to walk about 30 minutes to get to Alstadt. Mostly we could walk along the river which was at least a pleasant walk. 2. PLANNING AHEAD - although everything is close together, there is too much to see in only one day so I’d recommend deciding what you’ll see and what you’ll skip before you go. 3. TIMING - We arrived at around 11am and left around 4pm. We had enough time to look at the Old Bridge, walk through Kornmarkt and Marktplatz squares, catch a cable car to the Schloss (castle) and walk the Philosophers Path in the afternoon. 4. KING’S THRONE FUNICULAR - If you are planning to catch the funicular train up to King’s Throne (Königstuhl), be aware that there can be a long wait at the mid-section station so I’d recommend asking at the ticket desk before you buy the ticket. We’d planned to go but changed our mind when they warned us to expect a 2 hour wait at the second funicular. Instead we opted to get the funicular to the castle only. 5. VISIT CASTLE IN THE MORNING - The queue to the castle can be long too. It took us about 30 - 40 minutes to queue for tickets and get the cable car. From memory, we got there around midday. When we came down a few hours later, the queue had snaked out the door and around the building so I'd suggest doing this earlier in the day. 5. HIGHLIGHTS – The highlight was definitely the Schloss (Castle). The views over the town and river were outstanding, the castle (although in ruins) is very picturesque and the grounds are beautiful. The castle ticket also includes the Apothecary Museum (surprisingly interesting) and the Tun (world’s largest wine keg).

experimenta, Germany's largest science center, amazes visitors with an extraordinary variety of offerings and is an exceptional symbol of the joy of experimentation, of knowledge and innovation. In the Discovery Worlds, numerous interactive stations on four exhibition levels are sources of inspiration. The Science Dome is a unique combination of planetarium and theater, where you can travel virtually through space or experience fascinating laser shows or experiment demonstrations. A space station of a special kind is located on the rooftop terrace: the observatory with its powerful telescopes and four observatory stations. The Research Worlds in building e2 provide areas for a wide range of experiments. They include eight high-quality and fully equipped labs, a cooking lab and the Northern Württemberg Student Research Center. experimenta offerings are rounded off with the Maker Space as a platform for design and development and as a workshop for hands-on work.
I can 100% recommend it! The staff is very kind and there is Kursivdrucke things to do and try out. You can easily spend an entire day here!

The Nazis chose Nuremberg to be the site of the Nazi Party Rallies. The still unfinished Congress Hall on the former Nazi Party Rally Grounds now houses the Documentation Center. The 1,300 square meter "Fascination and Terror" exhibition examines the causes, context and consequences of Nazi tyranny. The museum focuses on the history of the Nazi party rallies, which served as powerful mass events to promote Nazi propaganda and set the stage for the "people's community". The educational forum offers numerous programs for all age groups on a variety of topics. Information boards on the Nazi Party Rally Grounds, which cover 4 square kilometers, explain the history of the site.
The Documentation Center details the rise and fall of the Nazi party in Germany. Worth a visit. A mandatory visit to the memorial site / museum for every visitor to Nuremberg. Nuremberg had a rich history. The city's past as a center for the Nazi Party, including the Nuremberg Laws, the ostentatious marches between 1935-1942, and the Nuremberg Trials after the war, which made historical justice with Nazi war criminals burdensome but fascinating. The rise of the Nazi party in Germany is well illustrated. A must-see museum for all history lovers, especially those of World War II. The exhibits are fascinating and well-arranged. You can dedicate a full day visit and it depends on how much time each visitor has. Recommend 3 hours to visit this important center. A special experience and not easy to digest

We took a stroll through the Old Town of Nuremberg from the castle uphill through the castle opposite the main train station and beyond, and we marvelled at the beautiful medieval buildings and picturesque canal. Later, we visited a museum near the upper castle and we were astonished to see photos of the city of Nuremberg utterly reduced to rubble by WW2 bombing. The reconstruction of this beautiful city is simply amazing and it is well worth a visit for this reason alone. Also, the transport system is integrated and operates with true German efficiency.

Nuremberg's Christmas Market starts at the end of November and continues through December. It's a traditional festive German market with yuletide treats like gluhwein, gingerbread and Nuremberg's famous bratwurst sausages. The opening ceremony is presented by the glamourous Christkind, who recites her now famous Christmas speech to thousands in the Main Market Square. You could also take a city tour in the old fashioned stage coaches and enjoy the nostalgic Christmas tunes the coachman plays on his trumpet. Finally take a walk up the steps of the Church of Our Lady for a spectacular view of the market's red and white coloured stalls and decorative lights. The children's market section is ideal for families.
The world famous Nuremberg Christkindlesmarkt (Christmas Market) is being held between 29 Nov and 24 Dec 2019 this season in the historic city centre area of the city. This is one of the oldest Christmas markets in Germany dating back to the mid 16th-century. The market is held at Hauptmarkt just in front of Frauenkirche and is linked to several other smaller Christmas markets spaced out in several directions. You'll find stalls selling traditional holiday foods (lebkuchen), local specialities (3 im weckla - Nuremburg sausages served in a bun) and and gluwein (mulled wine). Many other stalls sell nice Christmas ornaments, crafts and other season products. We very much enjoyed walking around the stalls of Christkindlesmarkt. Stalls seemed ready to go from late morning until late in the evening each day during our recent visit. Atmosphere is festive, child-friendly and very enjoyable, a fantastic add-on for visiting Nuremburg at this time of the year. Note: We did find Nuremberg Christkindlesmarkt very crowded, particularly in the evening, compared to other Christmas markets we have visited in Germany and other countries around Europe over the years. You can always sneak out of the main Hauptmarkt if you need a break from the crowd. Don't hesitate to try one of the smaller nearby markets as well, the stalls in these are very interesting as well and the crowds felt much less.
