Taking the train from Paris to Nuremberg
Go from French fancies to German greatness with this route from Paris to Nuremberg, the perfect way to enjoy cosmopolitan French style and unmissable German history, plus a scenic cross-continent train trip, what’s not to love? You’ll start in Paris, which is where many a magical adventure has begun, whether you’re climbing to the top of the Eiffel Tower, tucking into delicious fresh pastries or meeting the Mona Lisa at the Louvre, there are endless things to discover in the city of lights. But there’s plenty to do in Nuremberg too. Sure, it might not be quite as iconic as Paris when it comes to Euro city breaks, but that makes it even more of a gem to be discovered.
SNCF trains as well as Deutsche Bahn’s high-speed Intercity Express (ICE) and Intercity (IC) trains will speed you to Germany in just under 6 hours, for a greener, more laidback way to go than car or plane. Nuremberg is positively bursting with history and is truly a feast for the eyes. If you haven’t had enough of trains yet (because is there even such a thing?), the German National Railways Museum takes you through the country’s history of locomotion. Head to the Old Town to get a little lost in the most picturesque of ways, and make your way up to the fairytale-worthy Kaiserburg where half-timbered houses and quintessentially German architecture can be viewed.

Cheap train tickets from Paris to Nuremberg
Book in advance
Most of the train companies across Europe release their tickets around three to six months in advance, many of which can be cheaper the earlier you book. If you know the dates you want to travel, you may be able to find some cheaper train tickets from Paris to Nuremberg by booking early.§
Be flexible with your travel times
Many of the train services in Europe are also popular commuter services, lots of train companies increase ticket prices during “peak hours” (generally between 06:00 – 10:00 and 15:00 – 19:00 on weekdays). If you can, consider travelling outside of peak hours to find lower priced tickets.
Choose a slower or connecting train
On some of the busier routes, you might also have the option to take a slower or connecting train. It may take a little longer than some high-speed or direct services, but if you have a little extra time on your hands, you might find a cheaper fare. Plus, you'll have more time to enjoy the view of the countryside!
