Le Meridien Grand Hotel Nuremberg enjoys an exceptional location at the
gateway to the old city of Nuremberg. Just a short stroll away, visitors
will find museums, shops, the city's famous market and the Imperial Castle.
Nuremberg, Bavaria's second largest city, is charming and businesslike. It is famous for its
inventions (the pocket watch and the German railway), its gingerbread, Bratwurst (local
sausage) and toys and wooden artefacts; indeed, Nuremberg hosts the largest toy fair in the
world. The ancient walls around the Old City shelter mediaeval craftsmen's and tradesmen's
houses, small private breweries and the Imperial Castle which has an Art Shelter located in the
rocks underneath. The Germanisches National Museum has a display of art and culture from the
German-speaking world, dating back to 30,000 BCE. Other museums include the Natural History
Museum of Nuremberg, the Toy Museum and the Nuremberg Traffic Museum. Visitors can get a
glimpse of an historic, prestigious house at the Fembohaus or Tucherschloss, or take a visit to
Albrecht Durer's residence, all of which are within a short walk from the hotel; as are the
casino, gardens, the well-known shopping streets, tennis and squash, horse riding, an indoor
and outdoor swimming pool and various water sports.
