Fürth: Guide
Fürth (also Fuerth) is a city in Bavaria, Germany in the region of Franconia. It is right next to Nuremberg, so close that they are basically attached to each other. Unlike Nuremberg, the buildings in Fürth were untouched during the war.
Understand
During the middle ages Fuerth was jointly governed by the city of Nuremberg, the bishop of Bamberg and the count of Ansbach. Therefore Fuerth's coat of arms shows a cloverleaf. Fuerth is alos older than Nuremberg, dating back to November 1007. See "1000 Jahre Fürth" at http://www.1000-jahre-fuerth.de (German only).
Fuerth had a large Jewish population (Henry Kissinger for example, was born in Fuerth and fled to the USA when the Nazis came to power).
Get in
From Nuremberg via subway line U1. Alight at Fuerth Hauptbahnhof (Main Station) or Fuerth Rathaus.
Get around
You can travel to just about anywhere in Fuerth by foot or via bus. If a bus is not available, you can always take a taxi or ride a bike.
Local public transportation is provided by INFRA Fürth in conjunction with VAG, see: http://en.vag.de/ . You can buy tickets at electronic ticket machines located at many bus stops, all subway stations, all train stations, and from bus drivers. Tickets can be purchased with cash, and the ticketing machines do not accept bills larger than €20 unless your purchase exceeds €30. Ticket prices are listed on each ticketing machine and at each bus stop. Depending on your destination, you will need to buy a different ticket that will get you there. A one way ticket within Fuerth cost €1,40. If you plan on taking more than 2 one-way rides, it will make sense to buy a Day Ticket Solo for €3,60 or a Day Ticket Plus for €6,30. The Day Ticket Plus allows up to 2 adults and up to 4 children under the age of 18 to ride within 2 specified zones as much as they want. This is a good ticket to take when traveling from Fuerth to Nuremberg because Nuremberg downtown is in Zone 2. There are also discounts for students, children between the ages of 6-14, and senior citizens. Children 5 and under ride free. All information on ticket prices within Fuerth, Nuremberg, and Stein can be found here: http://en.vag.de/?pid=944 .
Buses and subways in Fuerth are all handicap-accessable.
