The castle in Nuremburg wasn’t as exciting as I thought it would be because we couldn’t take a tour because there were no tours in English. Because of this we had to settle for the castle museum and the watch-tower, though that wasn’t all that disappointing.
The museum was only small and was pretty much all taken up by various displays of weapons, both offensive and defensive. They had displays from the 12th century to the (supposedly) 19th century, though it was more like the 15th-ish century. It included different suits of armour, helmets, swords and halberds, bows/crossbows and early gunpowder weapons, all found in the Nuremburg area.
We then clambered up the tower in the castle and got a nice, although white-dominated view of Nuremburg. It was quite nice to look out over Nuremburg, though we couldn’t really see much because of all the mist and falling snow. The city was really clustered and tight and all the houses were very small with little or no space around them.
