Wikivoyage divides the old town into the Sebalder Altstadt to the north and the Lorenzer Altstadt to the south, separated by the Pegnitz river. The northern half takes its name from St Sebald Church, which Wikivoyage lists among the top sights alongside Nuremberg Castle (the Kaiserburg).

The southern half of the old town is named after St Lawrence Church, listed by Wikivoyage as a top sight, and is the side closest to the main railway station. Wikivoyage describes the old town as encircled by city walls and clustered around the Lorenzkirche.

Getting around Nürnberg

Wikivoyage says the U2 underground line links Nürnberg Airport with the central station in about 13 minutes. The city has fast ICE links, with Munich around 1 hour away, Leipzig and Frankfurt around 2 hours and Berlin under 3 hours, according to the same source.

Local transport is part of the VGN, the Verkehrsverbund Grossraum Nürnberg, which describes itself as covering 20,433 square kilometres with 140 transport companies, 1,066 routes and one ticket. Ticket types listed by VGN include the Verbundpass network pass, zone cards, short-distance rides and an all-day ticket plus.

The Nürnberg Card, according to the tourism site, offers unlimited travel in Zone A for 48 hours plus free entry to museums and attractions. The old town itself is compact enough to walk, with the Pegnitz dividing the Sebald and Lorenz halves.

Living in Nürnberg for longer

The city is well served by regional trains and S-Bahn lines that radiate from the main station, so a flat on a U-Bahn or S-Bahn line can be as useful as one in the old town. Families can combine the city's attractions, including the Germanisches Nationalmuseum and Nuremberg Zoo, both named by the official tourism site.

VGN offers a Verbundpass network pass and zone cards on its website, which are worth checking if you will be commuting rather than sightseeing. For relocation planning, see serviced apartments for relocation.
