The "Endless Trail" has been a classic for over 15 years. It's great that it's still so rideable and is constantly being expanded and improved. An absolute flow thrill in all seasons.

The tram runs directly from Nuremberg Central Station to the Tiergarten, while the bus connects various transfer points to the zoo.

An alternative to leaving the car at home when the weather is good is that the parking spaces are well filled.

The Nuremberg Tiergarten is located in the east of the city between the districts of Mögeldorf and Zerzabelshof. It can be reached from the main train station by tram (line 5 and line 11). Another bus line (no. 45) connects the Tiergarten with important transfer points for the underground and the suburban trains.
