    There is a Gothic spire fountain near the market square, which is colorful and gorgeous. Unfortunately, there is a fence outside, so you can't see it up close. It is said that turning the ring on the fence can bring good luck.

    This is a very interesting place. Although there are not many tourists, it is actually suitable for all ages. You can see all kinds of toys in this museum. Some toys are very old, but they are still well preserved and very beautiful. My favorite is the kind of toys that are like playing house. There are all kinds of small houses in them. It feels like a microcosm of that era.

    St. Lawrence Church is located in the south of the old town of Nuremberg, and stands out among the red-roofed houses. Its walls with the marks of time, its towering twin towers, and its giant rose windows all reveal its typical medieval Gothic style.

    The old town of Rothenburg in Germany is worth a visit. The ancient city walls and plank roads can now be visited. When we came, there were many tourists in the old town of Rothenburg, but not many people climbed the ancient city walls and plank roads, so it was very convenient to take pictures.

    Nuremberg was also a very important military city in Germany during World War II. There are many historical buildings left over from the war. The air-raid shelters are located in the old city, and there are very well preserved tunnels and buildings, which you can visit inside.
