The famus sausage wanderinghistorian mentioned is only white as long as it is not roasted.

Some things to see:

-Kaiserburg
-LochgefÃ¤ngnisse(medival dungeon under the old town-hall, but dont know if they are open in November)
-Dokumentationszentrum Reichsparteitagsgelaende(to remember the cruelty and avoid it)
-If you already there take some time and take a walk aroud the Duzendteich (largest lake within city borders), very relaxing.
-Kornmarkt
-Breite Gasse (Gasse means alley so 'Strasse' is needless @sunshinesummertime)
-Am TrÃ¶delmarkt (There a nice cafÃ© too. But please donÂ´t act (Don't be cross with me!) "special american" there. This place is normal not for tourists.
-the HexenhÃ¤usle is famous for traditional NÃ¼rnberg(and franconian) food

Sausalitos is a good idea. If the one in Nuernberg is overcrowded, just take the subway to Fuerth, there is a second one ;-) .

I dont know much about night clubs and it depends on your age, some would be Planet, Hirsch, Won and...um yes...have i mentioned i dont know much about these ;-)

There is a great youth hostel in a castle in Nurnberg but don't go there if kids get on your nerves. There are age limits if you don't have kids with you as is true in all Bavarian hostels.

You must try some of the little white sausages that city is famous for. Also they are known for lebkuchen which are cookies you normally see at Christmas but can be bought any time of year in Nurnberg.

The post above me mentions a race track. It is not in Nurnberg and is actually called the Nuerbergringe. One less N. Anyway it is near Koeln.

As far as sights there is a great christmas market but I bet you are going too early for that. Be sure to check out the Frauenkirche (my great-grandma was baptisted there). Also it is a walled city with lots of great views of the turrets and such in the Altstadt.

There is also a museum there but it must not have been to interesting because I can't remember anything in it. it is the Germanisches National Museum and is just a museum of general german history and as I remember was quite large.

the Kaiserburg, the Hauptmarkt, Sausalitos ( a mexican restaurant and club), the Breitegasse Strasse (shopping), CityPoint ( a mall near the Breitegasse Strasse), the Lorenzkirche. I can't think of anything else right now, but I know that there is SO much more to do.

I go there quite often because we have relatives in the area, and no matter how many times I visit these places, I never get tired of them (especially Sausalitos and the Breitegasse Strasse). If you have any other questions, feel free to contact me,

If you're going in November, plan on bringing warm clothes, and expect some form of precipitation--rain, and quite possibly snow. Nurnberg's in northeast Bayern (Bavaria), which always get snow pretty early. It depends on what time in November you're there, but if you're there in late late November (late enough to be there in early December), the beginning of December is traditionally when Nurnberg starts its Christkindlmarkt, or Weihnachtsmarkt (both mean Christmas Market). Most of the famous sights in Nurnberg, like most larger German cities, are located in the center--the Altstadt (Old City), or Zentrum (center). The castle is located at the top of the hill in the old town, which itself is a great place to see, not to mention the view it offers of the old town. Other folks have already listed quite a few good places to see, so I won't be redundant; if I remember the name right, the Schonbrunnen (Anglicized spelling, Schoenbrunnen--or "Beautiful Fountain) is in the same square as the Frauenkirche, which is one of several old cathedrals in the old city. No doubt you can also do a little research online or in the travel section of a bookstore and find out some more tidbits for your journey... just remember, if you drive into Nurnberg, parking's a bit of a pain--ESPECIALLY during the Christmas Market!

I don't know much about Nuernberg, but i've heard there are good markets there, and there is a very big race track ' the Nuernberg Ring', where you pay a fixed fee to race round a track.

Hope this helps....
