The city's location next to numerous highways, railways, and a waterway has contributed to its rising importance for trade with Eastern Europe.

N�rnberg Hauptbahnhof is a stop for IC and ICE trains on the German long-distance railway network. The Nuremberg�Ingolstadt�Munich High-Speed line with 300 km/h operation opened 28 May 2006, and was fully integrated into the rail schedule on 10 December 2006. Travel times to Munich have been reduced to as little as one hour.

The Nuremberg tramway network was opened in 1881. As of 2008, it extended a total length of 36 km (22 mi), had six lines, and carried 39.152 million passengers annually. The first segment of the Nuremberg U-Bahn metro system was opened in 1972. Nuremberg's trams, buses and metro system are operated by the VAG N�rnberg (Verkehrsaktiengesellschaft N�rnberg or Nuremberg Transport Corporation), itself a member of the VGN (Verkehrsverbund Grossraum N�rnberg or Greater Nuremberg Transport Network).

There is also a Nuremberg S-Bahn suburban metro railway and a regional train network, both centred on Nuremberg Central Station. Since 2008, Nuremberg has had the first U-Bahn in Germany (U2/U21 and U3) that works without a driver. It also is the first subway system worldwide in which both driver-operated trains and computer-controlled trains share tracks.

Nuremberg is conveniently located at the junction of several important Autobahn routes. The A3 (Netherlands�Frankfurt�W�rzburg�Vienna) passes in a south-easterly direction along the north-east of the city. The A9 (Berlin�Munich) passes in a north�south direction on the east of the city. The A6 (France�Saarbr�cken�Prague) passes in an east�west direction to the south of the city. Finally, the A73 begins in the south-east of Nuremberg and travels north-west through the city before continuing towards F�rth and Bamberg.

Nuremberg Airport has flights to major German cities and many European destinations, and is a focus city for Air
