As soon as the visitor enters the Handwerkerhof, he is greeted by the delicious aroma of Nuremberg sausages, gingerbread and other Franconian specialties. The medieval flair of the alleys, shops and half-timbered houses makes the small town in the middle of the big city a very special sight.If you look from Nuremberg Central Station in the direction of the old town, the Frauentor Tower immediately catches your eye. In its current form, the tower was built in the late 14th century and was thus one of the four main towers of Nuremberg's city wall. Nowadays, there is a colorful, happy hustle and bustle in the Handwerkerhof on the historic cobblestones of his former armory almost every day.
