When to go to Nuremberg?
Sandstone walls and towers still enclose the old town, with the imperial castle on the rock above and steep lanes running down towards the river. The toy museum traces dolls, tin soldiers and model railways through the centuries, in a city that made them for a living. In December the Christkindlesmarkt fills the main square with spiced biscuits, mulled wine and small gold-foil figures.
