Top 10 Historic Sites in Altstadt - St. Lorenz, Bavaria
With half a million people, Nuremberg is Bavaria's second largest city. While its history dates to the 11th century, Nuremberg is most often linked to the 20th century (specifically World War II). It first served as the site of many pre-war Nazi rallies, then was nearly leveled by Allied bombing, then was the site of the famous post-war Nuremberg Trials. The city has much to offer today's visitors, including the rebuilt Nuremberg Castle and the world-famous gingerbread at Hauptmarkt. Hansel and Gretel would have loved this place.

The Heilig Geist Spital - or the Holy Spirit hospice if you like - is 1 of the landmarks of Nuremberg that has more than 500 years of history. For those into history the best would be to have a guide explaining the history behind the place, nonetheless even is you are on your own you can/shall include this place into the must see landmarks of Nuremberg old town. You can access the building and the inner courtyard through the restaurant's portal (you can also check-out the restaurant - very good place to grab some food). Visiting is free of charge. Overall I do recommend you spend some time and check out this place.

Next to the train station and almost the entry to the old town. The small tower and surrounding area is really attractive
