Nuremberg's life is colourful all year round. It's green where Nuremberg citizens go in the summer: on the near-natural banks of the River Pegnitz which runs right through the city, in the city's parks and in the zoo, one of Europe's largest and most beautifully landscaped zoos which – unique for the Southern German region – also includes a dolphin house as a special attraction.
Surfing in the Franconian Lake District or climbing in the Franconian Jura – attractive destinations which are easy to reach thanks to the excellent public transport network. Franconian breweries – more breweries per square kilometre than anywhere else in the world! – help walkers to quench their thirst, when they have been roaming along Romantic river banks or across steep rock formations.
