ToyCity
Discover the toy city of Nuremberg and its culinary specialities
Nuremberg and toys are two terms that are inseparably connected with each other. The ToyCity has established a tradition in the centre of the Nuremberg Metropolitan Region, which thanks to the well-known production facilities in the region and the toy fair still plays a key role in the toy industry today. Get informed about special events in Nuremberg and other highlights during the toy fair.
Every region is proud of its culinary specialities. Most trade fair visitors probably associate Nuremberg gingerbread and the "3 im Weggla" with Nuremberg. But the Nuremberg red beer and the diverse gastronomic landscape also attract participants to the city after a day at the fair.
Whether you prefer international dishes or like trying out local specialities, you will find a wide choice of restaurants in the city centre. Relax after a long day at the fair with a tasty dinner, a glass of wine or a cool beer, and enjoy the hospitality of Nuremberg’s restaurants.
