We have a reservation for the bus and train from Prague to Munich. We noticed that we have only about 11 minutes to get to the train in Nurnberg once we have arrive at the train station in Nurnberg. Does anyone know if that is enough time, and does anyone know what we need to do if the bus is late or for some other reason we miss the train.

Eleven minutes should be plenty of time to get to the train. The bus stops next to the main entrance for the Bahnhof. You just walk in, through the entrance area, a back through the tunnel to your platform (8?). But don't daly, as in stop to shop. If the bus is a little late, they might hold the train, but there is at least one every hour. If you have a full fare ticket for both the train and bus, just take the next train. If you have one of those train-specific discount tickets, there is a clause in the AGB that says if you miss a connection due to a fault of the Bahn (eg, late bus), you can just take the next available train. It would be best to go to the ticket counter and tell him that the bus was late. He'll modify your ticket to put you on the next train. I tested this (not willingly) in 2008.

The ticket service area is just to the right through the main door. Take a number when you go through the door. If you have first class tickets there is one window on the far right just for first class tickets. Also there is a lounge upstairs to left of main entrance just for first class passengers. Free beverages and FREE bathroom. Handy if you have to wait anytime.
