Holiday in Fürth
Fürth is very close to Nuremberg (a little over 11 kilometres away), so it makes perfect sense to combine a city break to Nuremberg with a holiday in Fürth.
The historic city centre is located east and south of the rivers Rednitz and Pegnitz, which flow together northwest of the old town to form the Regnitz. In contrast to Nuremberg, the old town of Fürth was lucky enough to have been almost spared in the Second World War. So today you can still discover many beautifully preserved buildings around Gustavstrasse. The town hall, St Michael’s Church and the museums are further tourist attractions of the town.
The city offers a lively cultural scene with numerous museums, theaters and events. The Jewish Museum of Franconia is a must for history buffs, while the municipal theater offers a varied program of performances.
For nature lovers, Fürth offers numerous parks and green spaces. The city park invites you to relax and take a walk and offers a green oasis in the heart of the city. Fürth is also an ideal starting point for excursions into the surrounding Franconian countryside.
The culinary scene in Fürth is diverse and ranges from traditional Franconian cuisine to international specialties. Numerous restaurants and cafés invite you to linger and enjoy.
Fürth is well connected and easy to reach by car or public transport, making it a convenient destination for weekend trips or longer stays.

Local public transport
Fürth is integrated into the local public transport system of the Nuremberg metropolitan region.
The underground line 1 crosses the core city every 7 minutes and continues to Nuremberg.
Buses run through the city from the main railway station and the town hall. There are a total of eight bus lines and two night bus lines.
By car
There are many one-way streets and traffic-calmed zones in the city centre. This makes it seem a bit complicated to get around the city.
Parking
There are only a few parking spaces in the city centre. Here you have to resort to the large multi-storey car parks for which a fee is charged.
South of the railway tracks there are some large pay and display car parks. For example, at the Hardhöhe underground station there is a Park&Ride car park (€1.50/day).
