Handwerkerhof is a charming traditional craft village located just inside the old
city walls near Nuremberg’s main railway station. Designed to resemble a
medieval artisan quarter, it features small workshops producing handmade goods
such as pottery, leather items, metalwork, wooden toys, and local souvenirs.
