The largest ensemble of old craftsmen's houses in Nuremberg can be found in Weißgerbergasse. Predominantly half-timbered, the historic town houses, often with their own well and garden, bear witness to the prosperity that the leather craft brought with it. Instead of the busy tanners in the Middle Ages, cafés, bars, small shops and craft businesses now liven up Weißgerbergasse.

Nuremberg's old town has a number of really beautiful historic half-timbered houses to offer. This gives the old town a truly unique atmosphere and makes Nuremberg really worth seeing.

There are many old half-timbered houses in Nuremberg, including the Albrecht Dürer House. You can eat well in the Albrecht-Dürer-Stube and it is a traditional restaurant.
