Handwerkerhof

Nuremberg


A recreation of an old-world Nuremberg crafts quarter, the Handwerkerhof is a walled tourist market by the Königstor. If you're in the market for souvenirs you may find some decent merchandise here such as gingerbread wooden toys and traditional ceramics, and there is plenty of bratwurst to go round, too.
