Altstadt (old city), weekday morning. Just so you don't think Nuremberg is one of these Ye Olde Medieval towns filled with guys selling the leather beer mugs like at the Renaissance fair, what you're looking at is one of the main shopping streets in town, totally closed off to traffic. There is a LOT of old money here, and that's represented in stores like Louis Vuitton, Hermes, and the like. St. Lorenz church (built from 1270-1477) is a marvel in and of itself, and has been undergoing a systematic reconstruction since WWII. Click here for more information and interior shots of this amazing building.
