One of the best restaurant/beergardens I've ever been to is located in the old city wall, partly in the tower, partly in the walk along the battlements. There's a variety of things on offer. Sit under old trees in the beergarden and enjoy local and Polish fare which is excellently cooked, and beer which is excellently brewed. Or sit on one of the romantic little tables by candle-light in the walk on the battlements with your sweetheart, looking at the medieval castle skyline. Or sit inside in the restaurant on rustic dark wood tables. Be sure to check out the large function room in the tower with near-360 degree panoramic views above the roofs of Nuremberg. Enjoy!

Nuremberg provides easy access to the very well-maintained cycle paths that go to Prague and Vienna.

Cycling is also the quickest and cheapest way to get around the city, and the cycle path goes along the river Pegnitz.

Down at "Woerther Wiese" there is a nice beer garden and a sensory garden for kids. Community sports like football and juggling take place there too - just ask, and most of the time you are very welcome to join in.

At "Woerther See", the little lake near the inner city meadows you can rent a boat, and it's also a good place for jogging and keeping fit - running round the lake usually takes about 30-45 min if you are fit.

Of course, cycling is also good during the World Cup. Especially if you want to avoid traffic jams around the stadium.

The Bäckerhof has a Thai restaurant downstairs and a bar upstairs. The building is unassuming from the outside but has a great space inside. The restaurant food is good and fairly inexpensive, with a small separate lounge area. Through the back there is a fussball table. Upstairs is a really huge bar with chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. Sofas, table service, cocktail waiters and a DJ make it a great place for a couple of pre-club drinks.

One of Nuremberg's most popular night-time locations, the Wax Lounge is in the BA (Bavarian American) Hotel. This bar/club attracts a young crowd who take advantage of upmarket but reasonably-priced drinks and bang-up-to-date sounds from top DJs.
