Road trips from Nürnberg
1 Franconian Switzerland and Bamberg
- Nuremberg
- Erlangen
- Forchheim
- Pottenstein
- Gößweinstein
- Bamberg
- Nuremberg
Via Erlangen and Forchheim, you head north into Franconian Switzerland, with its deep valleys, limestone crags and hilltop castles: the Teufelshöhle cave at Pottenstein, the village of Tüchersfeld nestled in the cliff, the basilica of Gößweinstein. Bamberg, a World Heritage episcopal city and home of smoked beer, completes the loop before the return on the A73. The valley roads are narrow and winding: a campervan is more at ease there.

2 The medieval towns of the Romantic Road
- Nuremberg
- Rothenburg ob der Tauber
- Dinkelsbühl
- Nördlingen
- Ansbach
- Nuremberg
To the west, Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Dinkelsbühl and Nördlingen have kept their ramparts, towers and half-timbered houses; Nördlingen also sits at the centre of a meteorite crater, the Ries, visible from its wall walk. The return runs via Ansbach and the baroque residence of the margraves. You park outside the walls: traffic is restricted in the old towns, but motorhome areas are laid out outside them.

- Nuremberg
- Eichstätt
- Kipfenberg
- Kelheim
- Weltenburg

- Nuremberg
To the south, the Altmühltal nature park unfolds its limestone cliffs and fossil quarries around Eichstätt, a baroque town, then Kipfenberg castle, on the old Roman limes. At Kelheim, a boat sails up the Danube gorge to Weltenburg Abbey and its monastery brewery. Regensburg, with its stone bridge and listed old town, comes before the return on the A3, or the end of the trip as a one-way hire with our partners.

Weather and seasons
When to go in Nürnberg?
Best time
May, June and September
May to June, September
highs 19 to 24 °C, lows 9 to 14 °C
The best months to set off from Nuremberg: long days, open beer gardens and pleasant hiking trails in Franconian Switzerland. September stays mild and quieter on the roads, with Nuremberg's big old town festival, the Altstadtfest.
High season
July and August
July to August
highs 25 °C, lows 14 to 15 °C
Peak season, warm but also the wettest time of year in Nuremberg: summer thunderstorms are frequent in the late afternoon. Bavarian school holidays start in early August, when the Romantic Road draws the most visitors: book your vehicle and campsites early.
March, April and October
March to April, October
highs 11 to 15 °C, lows 1 to 7 °C
Transitional seasons with cool nights, even close to freezing in March. At Easter, the villages of Franconian Switzerland decorate their fountains with painted eggs, a much-loved local tradition; in October, the forests of the Altmühl turn golden and the campsites empty.
Winter
November to February
November to February
highs 4 to 8 °C, lows -2 to 2 °C
A cold, grey winter, with regular night frosts. During Advent, the Christkindlesmarkt, one of Germany's most famous Christmas markets, fills the main market square: a well-heated vehicle and a campsite open in winter let you enjoy it without hassle.

Practical tips
Everything to know before hitting the road
The old town on foot
Nuremberg's old town, enclosed by ramparts lined with towers, is largely pedestrianised, with narrow cobbled streets and height-restricted underground car parks. Leave the motorhome outside the walls and walk in through one of the fortified gates, or take the underground or the tram.
A busy motorway hub
Four motorways meet around Nuremberg: the A3 between Frankfurt and Passau, the A9 between Munich and Berlin, the A6 towards Heilbronn and the Czech border, and the A73 towards Bamberg. The interchanges and the Frankenschnellweg, the expressway crossing the city, get congested at rush hour and during major trade fairs: leave early in the morning.
Rock im Park and trade fairs
In early June, the Rock im Park festival gathers tens of thousands of fans on the Zeppelinfeld, south-east of the city, right next to the Dutzendteich campsite. Trade fairs at the exhibition centre, such as the toy fair early in the year, also fill up accommodation: check the calendar before fixing your dates.
A night in Bavaria
Wild camping is banned in Bavaria; a single night in a public car park is generally tolerated to rest before driving on, without setting anything up outside and unless a sign says otherwise. In Franconia, many villages and breweries offer motorhome pitches: Franconian Switzerland is one of the regions with the most breweries in the world.
What travellers ask
Your questions about a road trip in Nürnberg
Where can I pick up a motorhome in Nuremberg?
CrossRent welcomes you in the north of Nuremberg, on Bessemerstraße, at a car dealership. McRent is based in Zirndorf, to the west, just past Fürth, and Rent Easy in Burgoberbach, at a motorhome dealer, about forty kilometres south-west, near Ansbach. Anywhere Campers gives its meeting point in Nuremberg in the booking confirmation.
How much does it cost to hire a motorhome in Nuremberg?
The price depends on the season, the length of hire, the company and the vehicle: a compact campervan does not cost the same as a large family motorhome, and July and August are the most sought-after months. Run a search with your pick-up and return dates to compare real offers, mandatory fees included, bookable straight away.
How do I get to the depots from Nuremberg airport?
The airport is in the north of the city, on the same side as the CrossRent depot: a taxi is enough. Underground line U2 links it to the main station, from where regional trains serve Fürth, for Zirndorf, and Ansbach, a few kilometres from Burgoberbach. Let the company know your arrival time to arrange the vehicle handover.
Can I do a one-way trip from Nuremberg?
Yes, our partners also rent from Regensburg, Würzburg, Ansbach, Wertheim and Günzburg: you could, for example, finish in Regensburg after the Altmühl Valley. A one-way fee may apply; it is included in the displayed price as soon as you choose a different return city when searching.
Which vehicles can I hire in Nuremberg?
The offers we found range from compact vans for two to five-seat family models: the Adria Matrix M670SL with manual or automatic gearbox, the Carado T-447 sleeping four, and the Compact, Comfort and Family categories in Standard, Plus and Luxury versions. Full equipment details are shown on each offer.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ — Campervan and motorhome hire in Nuremberg
What licence do I need to drive a motorhome in Germany?
A European category B licence lets you drive campervans, converted vans and motorhomes under 3.5 tonnes. Holders of a licence issued outside the European Union may need an international driving permit or an official translation. Minimum age and years of driving experience vary by company: they are stated in each offer's conditions.
Are German motorways tolled?
No, rental motorhomes use German motorways free of charge, as tolls only apply to heavy goods vehicles. A vignette is required, however, as soon as you cross into Austria, a few hours south-east via the A3. Some German cities also have low-emission zones: check the rules in force.
Where can I stay overnight with a motorhome in Nuremberg?
The city campsite lies to the south-east, near the Dutzendteich lake and the stadium, linked to the centre by public transport: it is the most practical option for sightseeing. A few motorhome parking areas also exist on the outskirts. Book your pitch during Advent and major events.
Do I need winter tyres in Germany?
Yes, as soon as the road is covered in snow, ice or frost: German law then requires winter tyres marked with the mountain symbol, or you risk a fine. In Franconia, these conditions are common from December to February, especially on the plateaus of Franconian Switzerland. Check the vehicle's equipment with the company for a winter departure.
Can I drive to the Czech Republic from Nuremberg?
The A6 reaches the Czech border towards Plzeň, then Prague, in a few hours. An electronic vignette is compulsory on Czech motorways for vehicles under 3.5 tonnes. Before leaving, check in the offer conditions that the company allows this country and that the insurance covers it.
What should I see in Nuremberg before hitting the road?
The Imperial Castle towers over the old town, a stone's throw from Albrecht Dürer's House. The Germanisches Nationalmuseum, the Documentation Centre at the former Nazi Party Rally Grounds and Courtroom 600 of the Nuremberg trials tell the story of Germany. Finish on the main market square, by the Beautiful Fountain, with small grilled Nuremberg sausages.
About us
Why start a motorhome trip from Nuremberg
Nuremberg brings the best of Franconia within a few stages: the crags and breweries of Franconian Switzerland, the ramparts of Rothenburg and Dinkelsbühl, the cliffs of the Altmühl and the Danube gorge. Between visits, the quiet Franconian roads wind through orchards, hop fields and half-timbered villages, at the ideal pace for a motorhome.
With four partner companies spread between the city, Zirndorf and Burgoberbach, you will find anything from a compact campervan to a family motorhome. Fürth, Ansbach, Regensburg and Würzburg, other departure cities of our partners, make one-way trips across Bavaria possible. The continental climate keeps the finest trips for May to September, while the harsher winter has the famous Christmas market on its side.
