DB Museum Nuremberg
DB Museum
Germany's oldest railway museum, displaying a replica of the “Adler” (Eagle), the country's first locomotive, along with royal carriages and many other engines.
Germany's first railway line ran from Nuremberg to Fürth in 1835. The museum features a lavish carriage used by King Ludwig II of Bavaria, steam locomotives, and an interactive area for children. The same building also houses a communications museum covering postal and telecommunications history, and one ticket covers both. Admission is about €7. The museum is closed on Mondays and is roughly a five-minute walk from the Hauptbahnhof (Central Station).
