Nuremberg Airport (NUE) Taxis

Taxis Nürnberg Airport are available from the taxi rank just outside the terminal buildings, where a fleet of mainly cream coloured Mercedes Benz vehicles awaits passengers.

A typical journey to Nuremberg city centre will only take 15 minutes and the cost will be approximately EUR 16.00. The same time and cost applies to journeys to the main train station in central Nuremberg, from where passengers can catch train connections to Bamberg, Erlangen, Stuttgart and Munich for example.

Nuremberg’s famous Fairgrounds can also be reached by taxi in just 20 minutes and the cost for this is around EUR 24.50, while a trip to the Nuremberg Stadium will also take 20 minutes and cost around EUR 21.50.

A trip by taxi to Erlangen – eliminating the need to travel to the railway station – will cost from EUR 28.00 upwards and will take around 20 minutes with Nürnberg Airport taxis. The city of Fuerth, also a popular destination for business and leisure travellers, can be reached within a 20 minute drive and the cost for a typical taxi Nürnberg Airport journey to Fuerth is around EUR 20.00.

Although there should always be a fleet of vehicles waiting at the taxi rank, taxis Nürnberg Airport can be booked via the central reservation desk at +49 911 19410. Public telephone booths in the terminals provide passengers with access to taxi services, if passengers do not have their own mobile phone to hand.

All Nürnberg Airport taxis are clearly market with a TAXI sign on the car roof and the company name of the individual taxi operator will be clearly displayed on the side of the cars. A taxi meter will be installed in the front of the vehicle and an official municipal or airport permit will be displayed in the front windscreen to put passengers’ mind at rest.

Most hotels and guesthouses are located in the city centre, where cobbled streets, independent shops, the market square with regular weekly market stalls and gorgeous patrician houses, gothic churches and medieval fortifications invite tourists to linger. In many of the more quiet side streets away from the main throng of the tourists, visitors will find cosy restaurants, cafes and pubs, where they can enjoy a quiet meal and sample local wines of the region.

The imperial castle, perched high above the city, is one of Nuremberg’s most visited tourist attractions. Guided tours are conducted several times per day through the Kaiserburg. The Old Town, with its half timbered houses now being home to artisans and craftsmen and women selling souvenirs and gifts, nestles at the foot of the imposing castle, within a short walk of the main train station.

Nuremberg’s market square and the huge pedestrianized shopping district tempt thousands of shoppers every year to their stalls and independent shops, designer outlets and places like the Steiff Teddy Bear Shop in the heart of Nuremberg.

In the summer the market square offers fruit and vegetables, ice cream and fried sausage stalls, fresh pretzel and bakery wares and, of course, here visitors can buy the famous Lebkuchen (gingerbread) that once adorned the witch’s house in the Grimm Brother’s Hänsel and Gretel fairy tale.

In the winter, Nuremberg’s most famous market takes place. Every year some 2.5 million visitors come to the Christmas Market, one of Germany’s best yuletide markets.

Although one can get around easily on foot in the city centre, it is exhausting and going shopping in Nuremberg’s many wonderful shops – not forgetting the excellent museum shops, of course – means that visitors are soon laden with bags, packages and parcels that are best taken care of in the boot of a taxi back to the hotel!
