Handwerkerhof
A recreated medieval courtyard within the city walls, opposite the train station, with half-timbered houses holding tin craft, toy, gingerbread workshops, and small sausage eateries.
Located in a wall tower beside the Königstor (King's Gate), it's just across the street from the train station and makes a convenient first stop on your way into the Old Town. You can buy handmade pewter, glassware, leather goods, and Nuremberg gingerbread, or sit down for bratwurst with sauerkraut. It's quite commercial, so it's best for a casual half-hour stroll. Most shops are closed on Sundays.
Opening hours
Shop Mon-Sat approx. 10:00-18:00
