October 1, 2021 by Henk Bekker in Bavaria, Franken / Franconia, Germany

Getting to Nuremberg (Nürnberg) in the Franconia region (Franken) in Bavaria (Bayern) is easy by car, plane, train, or long-distance bus.

Google Map Nuremberg

Nuremberg (Nürnberg) has very good transportation links to the rest of Bavaria, Germany, Europe, and indeed the rest of the world. Nuremberg is an important railway hub for Deutsche Bahn trains and excellent Autobahn highways cross here for fast driving times to many parts of Central Europe. Nuremberg Airport (NUE) has flights to many parts of Europe while nearby Munich Airport (MUC) serves the largest number of European destinations of any airport. Long-distance inter-city buses often provide the cheapest transportation to Nuremberg from other German cities and Prague.

Cheap Flights to Nuremberg Airport (NUE) in Germany

Cheap flights are available from many parts of Germany and Europe to Nuremberg Airport (NUE). The airport is popular with low-cost airlines but many European airlines also offer flights here. Intercontinental travelers using non-German airports as first stop in Europe, may often pick connecting flights directly to Nuremberg rather than fly via Munich.

Fly to Nuremberg via Munich Airport (MUC)

Nuremberg Airport is very conveniently located in the northern suburbs of Nürnberg. However, the number of flights is limited especially when compared to the huge number of destinations served from Munich Airport (MUC).

Many travelers to Nuremberg fly via München with Lufthansa flights taking only a few minutes, which is handy when linked to especially an intercontinental flight but often very expensive if booked as an individual flight.

By Train to Nuremberg (Nürnberg) in Bavaria, Germany

Nürnberg is at the crossing of several important long-distance railway lines. As a result, many high-speed Inter-City-Express trains are available from Nuremberg to other cities in Germany as well as Austria. Most trains go to München Hauptbahnhof but regular ICE trains run to Frankfurt, Cologne, Hamburg, Berlin, and Vienna.

By Long-Distance Inter-City Bus to Nuremberg

Long-distance, inter-city buses may not be the fastest or most comfortable way to travel but in Germany, these buses are often the cheapest way to travel. The German long-distance bus market is highly competitive with very low fares often available in frequent price wars. Even at regular fares, a long-distance bus trip booked a few days in advance can be significantly cheaper than the train.

The larger German inter-city bus operators such as Flixbus have connections from Nuremberg to most other German cities. Long-distance buses in Nuremberg usually stop at the Nürnberg ZOB at Willy-Brandt-Platz just a block from Nürnberg Hauptbahnhof. Some buses also stop at Nuremberg Airport.

Buses are the best way to travel between Nuremberg and Prague.

Christmas Market and Sightseeing in Nuremberg

Nuremberg is famous for its traditional Christmas market (Christkindlesmarkt). However, it is also an interesting city to visit outside the advent period with excellent museums, a beautiful old town, largely intact town walls, and the Nazi Party rally grounds.
