Trains, Craft Workshops and Toys

Why go

This route works for families who want hands-on subjects and breaks between indoor visits. Begin at the Nuremberg Transport Museum, where railway exhibits provide the largest planned stop. Cross toward Königstor and look through the small workshops of the Craftsmen’s Courtyard before continuing into the old town. The walk to the Toy Museum changes the scale from trains to playthings and gives the day a clear finish. Keep the courtyard flexible: individual workshops may differ in what is open, while the passage through the old town still connects the two museums. The route leaves room for food or a pause without requiring a fourth attraction. Check museum opening information before traveling.
