The Journey: Oslo (OSL) to Nuremberg (NUE)
Connecting the Norwegian capital to Northern Bavaria is a comfortable journey through the heart of Europe.
- Departure from Gardermoen: Your trip begins at Oslo Airport (OSL). As a world-class facility, OSL ensures a smooth start. We recommend utilizing the Flytoget airport express for a punctual arrival. Enjoy the duty-free shopping before boarding your flight south.
- The Route: Most itineraries involve a quick stopover in a major European hub. Total travel time is generally very efficient, often ranging between 3 and 5 hours. It is a smooth transition from the Scandinavian Peninsula to the rolling hills of Franconia.
- Arrival in Nuremberg: You will land at Albrecht Dürer Airport Nürnberg (NUE). It is frequently voted one of the best airports in Germany for traveler convenience. Located just 5 kilometers north of the city center, it is connected directly to the U-Bahn (subway), getting you to the central station in just 12 minutes.
Destination: Nuremberg – History, Toys, and Gingerbread
Nuremberg is a city of distinct character, where the medieval and the modern coexist.
- The Christkindlesmarkt
For many Norwegians, Nuremberg is synonymous with Christmas. The "Christkindlesmarkt" is the original German Christmas market, held in the Hauptmarkt square. The aroma of mulled wine (Glühwein), roasted almonds, and gingerbread (Lebkuchen) creates an atmosphere that is truly magical. If traveling in December, booking early is essential. - Imperial History
The city skyline is dominated by the Imperial Castle (Kaiserburg), a symbol of the city’s importance during the Holy Roman Empire. Walking the city walls offers spectacular views of the red-tiled roofs and timber-framed houses below. - Recent History
Nuremberg does not hide from its complex 20th-century history. The Memorium Nuremberg Trials and the Documentation Center Nazi Party Rally Grounds offer powerful, educational insights into World War II and the subsequent pursuit of justice. - Culinary Delights
You cannot visit without trying the "Nürnberger Rostbratwurst." These small, finger-sized sausages are a protected geographical indication and are traditionally served three in a bun ("Drei im Weggla"). Pair it with a local Franconian red beer (Rotbier) for the authentic experience.
Practical Travel Tips for Norwegians
- Transport: The U-Bahn (subway) is the most efficient way to get around. It is driverless on some lines and incredibly punctual.
- Cash Culture: While cards are accepted in hotels and larger stores, Germany is still very cash-oriented compared to Norway. Smaller restaurants and market stalls often only accept cash (euros).
- Sunday Closures: Shops, supermarkets, and pharmacies are generally closed on Sundays. Plan your shopping for Saturday, and use Sunday for museums and dining.
- Weather: Nuremberg has a continental climate. Summers can be warm (up to 30°C), while winters are cold and often snowy—very similar to what you are used to in Oslo, so pack accordingly.
