After touring Wurzburg and Rothenburg, it was time to go to Nuremburg.  Travel time was just 1 hour and 19 minutes.  It was a very pleasant ride and our 9 euro train ticket for June came in very handy.  Unlike the two German cities we visited earlier, Nuremburg seemed like a big city to me.

I honestly didn't know what to see here.  I didn't do any research prior to leaving the US and I entrusted Marc with planning the entire itinerary.  The most important attractions we did see here were the Imperial Palace, the churches that littered all over the city, the huge Rathaus, the gilded water fountain in the market square, Tanner's Alley, and the train museum.

We spent the entire day in Nuremburg, much longer than our stay in Rothenburg.  We arrived very early in the morning, just as all commercial establishments were opening, and we left around 7 pm. 

The last of the attractions we visited was the train museum.  It was a bit of a walk from the city center but we managed to find it.  Along the way, we even saw the Opera House.  We arrived middle of the afternoon and there were very few visitors.  In fact, there were less than ten total, ourselves, included. 

We likewise decided to have dinner here.  We knew it would be late by the time we arrived back in Wurzburg. We headed back to town at first but when we realized we were going to miss our train back to Wurzburg had we continued walking in that direction, we turned around and headed for the train station. 

We settled for a Turkish restaurant that sold kebabs.  I ordered a wrap at first but when I saw a local ordered a much better looking meal, I changed my mind.  I ordered Chicken kebab on a bed of green and purple cabbage, or the Donner plate.  My oh my, was it delicious!  In fact, it was the most delicious meal I had in Germany on this trip.
