If you’re spending the day in Nuremberg, here are my top 8 things to add to your itinerary. 1. Stroll along the river Pegnitz in the centre of Nuremberg. The old town straddles the river Pegnitz and a stroll alongside the river is an idyllic way to start your day sightseeing in Nuremberg.

Nuremberg was an unofficial capital of the Holy Roman Empire, and the castle was paid host to official ceremonies for hundreds of years. Nuremberg is also a name associated with the Nazis, for the Nuremberg Rallies, racist Laws and Trials after the war.

Chiemsee. Often dubbed “the Bavarian Sea,” Chiemsee is the largest lake in Bavaria and is a beautiful spot for a relaxing retreat on the water’s edge. The main resort town of Priena is a popular destination for wealthy Munichers, though there are several other towns to suit other types of travelers.
