Rules in force · 7Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window…
  • Europe ↗Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window, counted across all 29 Schengen states together — not per country; the Entry/Exit System now logs each crossing, so an overstay is detected automatically.
  • Europe ↗On the first Schengen entry since EES began, non-EU travellers give four fingerprints and a face photo at the border instead of a passport stamp; there is nothing to apply for or pay in advance.
  • Central Europe ↗Six of the nine countries here — Austria, Switzerland, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary and Slovenia — charge a time-based motorway vignette, mostly digital and linked to the number plate; buy it before the first motorway past the border, because cameras, not toll booths, do the checking.
  • Central Europe ↗Temporary police checks at internal Schengen borders are common in this region in 2026 (Germany, Austria, Poland, Slovenia among others — check): keep your passport on you on every cross-border train, bus and road even though there is no fixed control post.
  • Germany ↗Germany is in the EU and the Schengen area: check entry rules, the EU Entry/Exit System and any travel authorisation requirement for your passport on official sources.
  • Germany ↗Nazi symbols and gestures are criminal offences, including as jokes or souvenirs.
  • Germany ↗Many city centres are low-emission zones: a car needs the right sticker (Umweltplakette) to enter.

Fürth sits 10 minutes by U1 from central Nuremberg and is the older of the two cities, first recorded in 1007. It was bombed far less in World War II, so the Altstadt keeps a near-complete run of Historism and Art Nouveau streets. It is a half-day or one-night add-on, not a base: sights are few and the food and beer are the real draw.

Watch out

Safety

Fürth is a calm city and most visits pass without incident. Take the standard precautions: watch bikes and traffic near the station, keep an eye on your bag in Michaelis-Kirchweih crowds, and ask the price before ordering in bars with no posted menu.
  • Ticket machines take cards but not notes over €20 (≈ US$25) unless you spend more than €30 (≈ US$35).
  • Crossing to Nuremberg changes the fare zone: buy a Day Ticket A, not B.
  • Many kitchens close between 14:00 and 17:30; plan lunch or dinner around that.
  • Some restaurants close one or two days a week, often Sunday or Monday: check the venue's own hours before you walk over.
