[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Flying to Nuremberg

Nuremberg’s is the 10th busiest airport in Germany, but it has a nice selection of routes from around Europe.

The airport is conveniently linked to the city with a metro line. In fact, you can reach the conference venue (Hotel Maritim, next to the railway station) within 15 minutes.

Flying to another airport in Germany

Frankfurt and Stuttgart are both well served with a wide range of routes, and these airports are well connected by train to Nuremberg.  At certain times there are also direct buses from these airports to Nuremberg.

Rail and Fly tickets

You can book train tickets at a reduced price when you book them together with your plane tickets. Deutsche Bahn cooperates with many airlines and you can book online. Here is their list of airlines.
For example, if you are flying with Lufthansa, here is the link to booking online. In case you are flying in on another airline and you do not find this option online, you may have to call them up.

Flights to Nuremberg and neighbouring airports – explanation

You can click on the maps to enlarge them. On the European map, airport codes in dark red indicate cities with direct routes to Nuremberg. Dark green airport codes have flights to Stuttgart, Frankfurt and/or Munich: in fact, most of these airports have flights to all three (S/F/M), some of them only to two of these.  Airports codes in light green have direct flights only to Munich out of these three cities.

On the world map, all dark green airport codes have direct flights to Frankfurt; some of them also to Stuttgart and/or Munich.

Information on the maps is for indicative purposes only. Airports that are typical holiday destinations were not included. Also, airports of several German cities with no direct flights to Nuremberg were  not included from where it’s easier to reach Nuremberg by train than a combination of flight + train/bus.  Source: Wikipedia pages, as of 6 August 2019.

Update December 2019:  Ryanair closes down its base in Nuremberg at the end of March, and keeps only some of its routes from April 2020.   The following routes remain:  Alicante, Athens, Kyiv, Kraków, Palermo, Palma de Mallorca, Porto, Thessaloniki, Zadar.  We will update this page as soon as new information becomes available (e.g. if any other airline decides to open these routes.)[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]
