Transportation in Nuremberg

Nuremberg's transport backbone is the U-Bahn and S-Bahn network, running fast, clean trains that cover the city and suburbs. A rechargeable VGN card from any station machine works on all trains, trams and buses, sparing you from daily ticket queues. Trams fill the gaps the trains don't reach, while buses handle the final stretch to neighborhoods and attractions. For airport arrivals, the U2 line whisks you downtown in minutes, running frequently until late evening. After service ends, the official taxi rank outside Terminal 1 is your fallback, agree to use the meter before loading bags. Skip the unlicensed drivers who approach inside arrivals; they're consistently the city's worst tourist trap.
