The beautiful St. Lawrence Church is tucked away at the heart of the Nuremberg pedestrian area. Built in 1250, it has been an Evangelical Lutheran church since 1525. The church has a magnificent west facade with a splendid portal richly decorated with statuary and a huge rose window (mid 14th century). Reconstruction work on the church started in 1952 following severe damage during the World War II.

Even today, the former Reichsparteitagsgelände (Nazi Party Rally Grounds) in the south of the city is still home to gigantic ruins representing the Nazi regime’s deluded notion of grandeur. The 11 km² complex was where the Nazi Party orchestrated its propaganda campaign. The documentation centre is located in the north wing of the Kongresshalle, which was designed by the Nazis to hold 50 000 people and was never completed. The permanent “Faszination und Gewalt” (“Fascination and Terror”) exhibition housed in the 1300 m² venue, chronicles the causes, relationships and consequences of the Nazi dictatorship.

The Esplanade is full of cafes and restaurants, BBQ areas where you can sit down with friends and use the big grills. Stroll along the promenade, splash around in the famous lagoon, enjoy some of the free events or just soak up the sun!
