Get in

Getting to Fürth

On the A73 just north of Nuremberg. The railway between Nuremberg and Fürth was the first in what would later become Germany. There are direct rail connections to Erlangen and Nuremberg, but for most places farther away it makes more sense to change in either Nuremberg or Erlangen and take the S-Bahn or another regional train from there.

How locals move

Getting around Fürth the local way

  • Get inHowever these are not point-to-point ferries, but scenic cruises, typically on a 7- or 14-day itinerary.
  • Go nextYou'd probably do them as a day trip, as it wouldn't be worth re-locating (unless you were hiking, knapsack on your back): Fürth - just 5 km west, this has charming medieval streets, a Jewish museum and a radio museum.
  • Go nextWell within a day trip, but deserving longer: Bamberg - once an ecclesiastical centre, the entire town is a UNESCO World Heritage site for its original Romanesque buildings, which survived the war.
