Season 4, Episode 21. It's another episode in the Travel Germany series! Let's learn about the hidden gem of Bavaria - Nuremberg!
First thing to know: people in Nuremberg identify as Franconian first and foremost, although the city is technically in Bavaria. Franconia is a region in northern Bavaria and is home to many charming places, including Nuremberg.
Today's guest, Shannon, has lived with her family for several years. They actually lived in Nuremberg years ago, moved back to the States, and missed Nuremberg too much, so they moved back. Through the years and various adventures with her husband and kids, Shannon has great ideas for how to stroll through the city, where to stop for the famous Nuremberg sausages, and which of the many festivals in the area to visit.
