Visit to Nuremberg, Germany

I can't exactly remember how many times I was in Nuremberg. I am quite sure more than ten times. Written as Nürnberg in German, this city is located in the Franconia region of Bavaria in Germany. It is a city full of historical sights to see and experience. Shopping, dining and other entertainment and leisure activities are always present in Nürnberg.

One of the sights not to miss when visiting Nuremberg is the Frauenkirche, known as the Church of Our Lady. You can see a snapshot of it below.

The Frauenkirche is an example of brick Gothic architecture, it was built on the initiative of Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor between 1352 and 1362.

Travel Snapshot- Cathedral in Salzburg, Austria

This image was taken during my third visit in Salzburg last July 2011. The Salzburger Dom or Salzburg Cathedral is a 17th century baroque cathedral in the city of Salzburg.

The round gold monument you see in "Kapitelplatz (Salzburg)" in my photo below is quite new to me. During my first and second visit there, this monument was still not present.
