We recommend using the train as it is the most popular way to get from Vienna to Nuremberg among Omio's users.
Germany uses the euro (€) as its currency. Travelers generally find it convenient to use cards, especially contactless payments, in cities and larger establishments. However, cash is still widely accepted and sometimes preferred in smaller shops, markets, and rural areas. Carrying some cash is recommended for flexibility.
In Nuremberg, travelers should be cautious of pickpocketing, especially in crowded areas like the main train station and popular tourist spots. Scam attempts involving fake charity collectors or overly persistent street vendors can occur but are less common. It is advisable to stay alert in busy markets and public transport to ensure personal belongings remain secure. Overall, Nuremberg is considered a safe city, but standard travel vigilance is recommended.

Keep essential items like travel documents, medication, and valuables in a carry-on bag for easy access. Use packing organizers or cubes to maximize space and maintain order. Lastly, include a small first aid kit and personal hygiene items for added comfort during travel.
