Getting TO/AROUND: The compact Nuremberg transportation system is comprised of 2 Ubahn lines, nine trams, and multiple bus lines. For the visitor, the only main attraction requiring more than a minimal walk is the castle district. The main train station is located across the street from the Frauentor entrance to the Old City at Konigstrasse. Between them is a plaza we called "tram central" where most of the tramlines intersect (Hauptbahnhofplatz). Below ground level here is a station for both Ubahn lines which intersect here and at one other stop near the Spittletor gate to the old town. Line 2 connects directly to the airport allowing easy access to the center of town. From this central point everything to see can be reached easily.
The cheap daypass for the Nuremberg transit system is one of the greatest bargains we encountered in Germany. Period. We were on and off the Ubahn and the trams all day and night long, even for one stop. Points of interest ----
Lorenz district - Shopping streets, Konigstrasse, Pegnitz River sites, St. Lorenz church -- Ubahn 1 to Lorenzkirche ( one stop ).
Sebald district - St. Sebald's, Fembohaus - Ubahn 2 direction airport for two stops to Rathenauplatz, then bus 36 to St. Sebald's.
Castle District, Albrecht Durer house - either Ubahn to Plarrer, then tram 4 to Tiergartnertor.
Documentation Center - tram 9 to the last stop.
Airport - Ubahn 2 to the last stop.
