Nuremberg offers visitors all sorts of surprises. For one, Nuremberg is a large modern city with half a million inhabitants, the core city of a European metropolitan region and Bavaria's second economic center. For another, so much of Nuremberg's history can be seen and experienced, unlike other comparable locations in Germany. A visit to Nuremberg is always a journey to two different worlds that are delightfully intermeshed with one another.

History allows you to a rendezvous with Nuremberg. Architecture, museums, art treasures and a perceptible flair keep the past alive.

In no other German metropolis can you find so many traces of medieval and modern (from the 16th century!) art and culture.

The Franken-Stadion first opened its doors in 1991.

Capacity is to be increased by various measures, including lowering the pitch and adding new stands. The city council decided on the new design on 13 December 2000.
