Nuremberg Airport

Nuremberg Airport (NUE) opened in 1955 and serves as a compact, well-connected gateway to Bavaria’s second-largest city with a single main passenger terminal (two concourses) handling roughly four million passengers annually. Convenient for travelers heading to the historic Old Town or Messe Nürnberg, the airport links to the city center via the S-Bahn and frequent regional buses, plus easy motorway access for rental cars. Compared with major German hubs it’s generally budget-friendly, with a strong low-cost carrier presence and seasonal leisure routes. Airlines operating significant services or bases here include Eurowings and several low-cost carriers such as Ryanair and easyJet, alongside regional Lufthansa flights.
