How To Reach Nuremberg Zoo

Getting to Nuremberg Zoo, Nuremberg, Germany

Nuremberg Zoo, also known as Tiergarten Nürnberg, is one of Europe's most beautifully landscaped zoos and is home to a variety of species from around the world. It is located on the eastern edge of the city within the Lorenzer Reichswald forest. Here are a few ways to reach the Nuremberg Zoo:

By Public Transport

Public transport is an efficient way to reach the zoo. You can use the following methods:

  • By Tram: Take tram line 5 to Tiergarten, which is the tram stop right outside the zoo's main entrance. Tram line 5 connects with several U-Bahn (subway) stations, such as Hauptbahnhof (main train station) and Aufseßplatz. The tram runs every 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the day and time.
  • By Bus: Bus lines 45 and 65 also stop at Tiergarten. These buses might be suitable if you are coming from a different part of the city or connecting from other forms of public transport.

By Car

If you prefer driving, the zoo is accessible by motor vehicle:

  • The address for your GPS is: Am Tiergarten 30, 90480 Nürnberg.
  • From downtown Nuremberg, take the B4R northeast until you reach the exit for the Zollhaus. From there, follow the signs for Tiergarten.
  • Parking is available on-site for a fee.

By Bicycle or On Foot

Nuremberg has a network of bicycle routes, and you can cycle to the zoo if you’re up for it. There are bike racks at the entrance. If you're staying relatively close to the zoo and enjoy walking, the zoo is accessible by footpaths that meander through the scenic Lorenzer Reichswald forest.

Note: Be sure to check the latest public transport schedules and road conditions before planning your trip, as these can change due to a variety of factors such as weather and construction.
