Carry a water bottle through security
Bring it empty and refill after security — a clear, single-wall plastic bottle empties fast and clears the checkpoint without the extra screening insulated metal bottles often get.

Frequently asked questions
Can I take liquids over 100 ml through Nuremberg?
Yes — Nuremberg allows liquid containers up to 2 L in carry-on. Check your return airport too: the limit only applies where you pass security.
Does this apply to my return flight?
Only if your return flight also departs from Nuremberg. Liquid rules apply wherever you pass security — check every airport on your route, including connections where you're re-screened.
What about duty-free liquids bought at Nuremberg?
Liquids bought after security, sealed in a tamper-evident bag with the receipt inside, are handled under separate rules and don't count against the limit. Keep the bag sealed if you have a connecting flight.
