Between Nuremberg and neighbouring Furth, the Best Western Hotel Nuernberg City West, Nuremberg, Germany, is a comfortable hotel by the U1 underground, with spacious air-conditioned rooms, many with a balcony, free Wi-Fi, a business centre, a lobby bistro serving local beer, wine and snacks, and a bright breakfast restaurant. The underground to the city centre is close by, with Nuremberg's old town and the Trade Fairgrounds within easy reach. The twin city of Furth lies just to the west along the same tram and underground lines. Nuremberg is the lively centre of the Franconian region in northern Bavaria; an old city wrapped in stone walls. The hilltop castle presides over red-roofed lanes and church towers, the festive Christmas market and the gingerbread bakers draw crowds in winter, and the neighbouring city of Furth adds its own elegant old streets and cafes. Trams and trains link the two cities in minutes.
