Gate-side cash top‑up at T1: ATM Sparkasse
This Sparkasse ATM sits in Terminal T1 at Nuremberg Airport, useful if you land with low euros or still owe a hotel city tax. It’s a standard German bank machine, not a kiosk from an unknown operator, so cards that work at other Sparkasse ATMs in Germany usually work here too.
The unit typically operates 24/7 alongside the main terminal hours in T1, so late arrivals on evening flights from FRA or early-morning departures to European hubs can still grab cash. It’s on the short list of banking options in the building, so don’t assume you’ll find another machine right by every gate.
Withdrawal fees depend on your card issuer, not the airport, but non-EU cards often see a foreign transaction charge of around 1–3%. The ATM may offer Dynamic Currency Conversion in USD or GBP; that rate is usually worse than what your bank gives, so stick with charging in EUR when the screen asks.
Since this is a single Sparkasse point in T1, lines can form after a couple of inbound flights land within 15–20 minutes. Grab cash before you queue for the taxi rank or rental car desks if you know you’ll need coins or small notes for lockers or tip jars.
Practical tip: take out what you need for the next 24–48 hours in one go to avoid repeated bank fees, and ask for a printed receipt to have the exact EUR amount handy for your expense report.
