Leisure in the Nuremberg Metropolitan Region
Discover unique leisure activities
In addition to the numerous cultural offerings and activities in the area of sport and recreation, there are many other opportunities to take a break from everyday life. There is hardly a night when you can't experience something special in a bar, pub or club. Dance to electronic music, shake your hips to salsa or enjoy a glass of red wine or a cocktail in a sophisticated atmosphere. Bars, clubs, live music ... and much more!
Shopping experience in the region
The many outlets in the region offer a special shopping experience. The offer ranges from women's, men's and children's fashion to traditional costumes and sports fashion. However, you won't just find fashion here, but also porcelain, kitchen furniture and appliances or regional specialties such as Nuremberg gingerbread. If you are less interested in mass-produced goods and prefer to rummage through the region's attic treasures, a visit to the flea market is a good idea. You can find a brief overview of selected markets in the region here.
