Weißgerbergasse
Nuremberg's best-preserved street of half-timbered houses, where colorful buildings stand shoulder to shoulder. It's the most photogenic lane in the Old Town.
Medieval tanners of white leather once settled here, and remarkably, more than 20 half-timbered houses survived the Second World War. Today the ground floors are mostly cafés, bars, and small shops, and it gets lively in the evening. A few minutes' walk south brings you to the Executioner's Bridge and the Wine Storehouse, so you can link them into a riverside stroll along the Pegnitz. Early morning is quiet, which makes it ideal for photos.
