Nuremberg is a well-connected city. Many travellers arrive by train at the station near the city centre. Others arrive by air or by road: the city is easy to get to on the A3, A6, A9 or A73 motorways. You can even reach the city by water; hundreds of cruise ships a year dock at the nearby port. These excellent transport links make Nuremberg a great place to start your motorhome journey.
