You may have heard of or even watched Nuremberg the film, but how much do you actually know about the city?
When in the medieval city make sure to head to the Imperial Castle (Kaiserburg), which looks over the city and Old Town.
Between 1050 and 1571, every Holy Roman Emperor lived at the castle and today visitors can see the main imperial palace, with different floors for different groups of nobility.
Visitors can head around the grounds for free, but if they want to go inside any of the buildings they’ll need to get a ticket.
There’s also Weißgerbergasse, which is one of the city’s only streets to survive the Second World War and is lined with colourful timber-framed houses.
The street is home to a number of independent cafes as well as galleries.
For some more souvenir shopping, drop by the Craftsman’s Courtyard where you can watch live sessions of artists making pottery, glass ornaments and keepsakes.
For history fans, you can learn more about the Nuremberg Trials at the East Wing of the Palace of Justice.
Here you can tour Courtroom 600, which is where the international war crimes trials were held and above the courtroom you will find an exhibition about the trials.
When exploring the city, make sure to also drop by Zum Gulden Stern, which is an 800-year-old bratwurst kitchen.
Inside, the restaurant has an old-world feel – ideal for enjoying with one of the kitchen’s famous hand- grilled, smokey pork sausages.
And for something sweeter, try Lebkuchen, which is Nuremberg’s version of gingerbread.
And with flights launching in time for the festive season, it is ideal for a winter break to one of Europe’s oldest Christmas markets.
The Christkindlesmarkt dates back to the 16th century and visitors can explore around 180 wooden stalls, with red and white striped roofs.
Mass produced, plastic items are banned from being sold at the market, so instead you’ll find traditional handmade gifts including collectible figurines.
The new flight route comes as easyJet has also announced it will be launching other new routes,including to Morocco, France and Egypt.
Flights from London Luton to Rabat in Morocco will launch on November 5.
Over at London Southend Airport, flights to Lyon in France will start on December 3, with flights on Thursdays and Sundays.
A route between London Southend to Sharm El Sheikh in Egypt will start in the new year on January 4, with flights each Monday and Friday.
The airline is also expanding flights to Budapest in Hungary, from Bristol, Belfast and Liverpool airports.
Scotland will get a new service as well, between Edinburgh to Tromsø, Norway from November 30.
And over in Manchester, there will be flights to Vienna, Austria, launching on November 19.
Isle of Man will get its first international route with the airline, to Geneva, starting on December 19.
