he Crafts Yard (Handwerkerhof) invites Nuremberg guests on an exciting stroll

Handwerkerhof (Crafts Yard)

A Nuremberg sight with a very special ambience. Right in the middle of Nuremberg's city, surrounded by the towers and walls of the medieval city fortification, the "Crafts Yard" ("Handwerkerhof") invites Nuremberg' guests on an exciting stroll. This "little town near the Königstor", opposite the Main Railway Station offers traditional crafts and Franconian hospitality in a charming atmosphere. It is quite astonishing what you can discover in those little workshops, shops and lanes: craftsmen such as pewterers, bag-makers, glass engravers, potters, wax artists, gold and silversmiths, glass painters, gingerbread bakers and doll makers have set up their workshops and show their skills in pretty half-timbered houses.

Hospitality and cosy Franconian atmosphere can also be found in the Crafts Yard: the famous Nuremberg roast sausages and other savoury Franconian specialities are best washed down with a tankard of fresh Nuremberg beer or a glass of Franconian wine.
