Jüdisches Museum Franken

Nuremberg


A quick U-Bahn ride away in the adjoining town of Fürth is the Jüdisches Museum Franken. Fürth once had the largest Jewish congregation of any city in southern Germany, and this museum chronicles the history of Jewish life in the region from the Middle Ages to today. To reach the museum, take the U1 to the Rathaus stop in Fürth.
