[Home](https://www.tourismus-fuerth.de/) 2. [Why not Fürth](https://www.tourismus-fuerth.de/why-not-fuerth/) Fürth is the neighboring city of Nuremberg and an ideal starting point for exploring Franconia. From Nuremberg Airport, there is a direct bus connection, while the two cities are connected by a subway line. Over 2,000 historical monuments, more than 1,000 years of history, green oases, charming old-town corners, and a touch of artistic flair await you in a relaxed atmosphere with warm hospitality. Our top tips for your first visit to Fürth: be sure to visit the Ludwig Erhard Centre and the Jewish Museum of Franconia! Both present the history of the “Cloverleaf City” in a unique way, each from its own distinct perspective. The best way to get a sense of a city and its people is by attending one of its many and varied events – whether it’s the flea market, concerts, or the traditional fair. Make sure to mark the dates in your calendar right away!
