Transferência de carro particular de Vienna para Nuremberg

Begin your trip by exploring the surroundings of Vienna, including a visit to the stunning Heiligenkreuz Abbey. Next, head towards the Danube River and allow yourself at least 1.5 hours to explore the town of Melk and its UNESCO-listed Baroque abbey.

Upon arriving in Germany, stretch your legs and explore the picturesque city of Passau, famous for being home to the world's largest organ. Before completing the final stretch of your journey from Vienna to Nuremberg, take another break and explore the Old Town of Regensburg, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

After the war, Nuremberg focused on rebuilding its houses and infrastructure. As many historic buildings were lost, significant efforts were made to restore landmarks such as Nuremberg Castle. Rebuilding the city almost from scratch introduced modern features, but it did not come at the expense of its historical heritage.

Today, walking through the streets of Nuremberg, it is hard to believe that around 90% of the city was destroyed during World War II. The restoration, particularly in the old town, is so impressive that it feels like you are wandering through an authentic medieval village.

Turning the page on its past, Nuremberg is known as the Toy City, reflecting its long history of toy manufacturing. Visitors interested in this aspect of the city can explore the Toy Museum or attend the annual Toy Fair to learn about this unique cultural heritage and the latest innovations in the industry.

While Nuremberg is a fantastic destination any time of the year, it really stands out in December with its famous Christmas market. Dating back to 1628, this festive market in the Main Market Square is one of the oldest in Germany. So, whether you’re on the hunt for a winter getaway or just an unforgettable vacation, no matter the season, Nuremberg has plenty to offer.
