All those who like to stroll along the market stalls should make a short detour to the weekly market on the main market square before starting the tour. The colorful market stalls are open from Monday to Saturday (7 am – 8 pm) and offer products from the region and Knoblauchsland (Garlic Land), one of the largest contiguous market gardening areas of its kind just outside Nuremberg.
The subway takes you within a few minutes from the “Lorenzkirche“ station to “Gostenhof“, the trendy district of Nuremberg (www.in-goho.de).
Along the Fürther Straße there are numerous stores, second-hand shops, boutiques and craftsmen’s shops, but on the side streets there are also many small treasures as well as Nuremberg’s only unpacked store where food, hygiene articles and much more are offered without packaging (don’t forget your own containers!).
If you’re lucky enough to end up there on just the right day you can enjoy the popular back courtyard markets – at doors with colorful balloons it’s worth taking a look "behind the scenes".
If you need a break in between, you’ll be in good hands in one of the small cafés, and numerous bistros offer a large selection for vegetarians and vegans. At the end of the day you can enjoy a locally brewed pale beer or the typical Nuremberg red beer in one of the many pubs.
It is also worth visiting “the MUZ“ (www.musikzentrale.com), the trendy network scene for musicians and music lovers in Greater Nuremberg, which promotes young artists of all musical genres and offers a stage for alternating events.
Tip: Street art enthusiasts should take a look in the back courtyard!
