Our day trip to Nuremberg was beautiful, overwhelming, and enjoyable. Since it was fall the color was great and everywhere you looked the fall colors were outstanding.
Since about three hours of our time was spent and the former Nazi Party Rally Grounds, the amount of information and remains of the building that were never completed after 1939 left us tired just from standing and listening. The Documentation Centre opened in 1994 provides an excellent source of information about the Nazi Party and the plans for these rally grounds that cover eleven square kilometers. We listened to the audio guide for about two and a half hours and were still not through the complete exhibit. But we quickly went through the rest of the exhibit and walked around the uncompleted Congress Hall. It was a nice day and it would have been a beautiful walk around the Dutzendteich lake but time did not allow and some food seemed necessary so we caught the bus back to the center of town.
Once we were at the Hauptmarkt we found the Bratwursthausle and a nice table outside to enjoy our lunch of bratwurst and beer. We then wondered up to the Castle but it was too late to take a tour so wondered the grounds and enjoyed the garden.
Our walk back to the train station was a pleasant time of enjoying the sights and doing a little shopping. We left tired but with many things that still need to be visited.
