For a comfortable visit, I would recommend spending between 45 minutes and 1 hour at St. Lawrence Church. That will give you enough time to admire its stained glass windows, Adam Kraft's tabernacle, and enjoy the atmosphere without feeling rushed. If you are an art or history enthusiast, you may want to stay a little longer.

St. Lawrence Church is a key monument of German Gothic architecture and a symbol of Nuremberg's rich medieval history. It is famous for housing remarkable works of art, such as Veit Stoss's 'Angelic Salutation' and Adam Kraft's 'Tabernacle,' which tell centuries of faith and artistic mastery. It represents the splendor of the former Free Imperial City.

To avoid the biggest crowds, I suggest visiting the church early in the morning or late in the afternoon, just before closing time. During the low season months, especially autumn and winter, you will also find fewer people. The morning light through the stained glass can be particularly beautiful.
