This tour begins in front of Nuremberg Central Station. Meet the guide and the rest of the tour group and roam through the city’s Old Town, admiring the beautiful timber-framed houses and cobblestone streets. Marvel at the massive City Walls of Old Town Nuremberg, which still run for approximately four kilometers.
Behind the walls, walk past the Craftsmen's Courtyard, where glass cutters, leather workers, gold and silversmiths, stained-glass painters and other artisans offer their wares for sale. See the gothic St. Lawrence Church, which was rebuilt after World War II; Nürnberger Christkindlesmarkt, Germany’s most famous Christmas market; plus Town Hall, German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer's house and the Imperial Castle courtyards, to name just some of the attractions.
Along the way, learn about the history of this beautiful and prosperous city — as the center of the Holy Roman Empire, to the days of the German Renaissance, the Temple City of the Third Reich, and the home to both the Nazi rallies and Nuremberg Trials.
See where German Emperors were crowned and where saints are buried. Find where the most famous and talented German artisans in history created their awe-inspiring works and where the colorful and lively markets have taken place for almost 700 years.
Then hop on the city’s public transportation (bus or train) to see the Nazi party rally grounds. Discover the Great Street, designed by architect Albert Speer to be the central axis of the rally grounds, and the half-finished Congress Hall of the Nazi Party, a building Hitler planned to use for party meetings. There’s also the largest Third Reich buildings, where Hitler inspected members of the SS, and the Documentation Center, a museum with exhibits on vital wartime and post-war events, like the Nuremberg Trials.
Feel free to stay at the Documentation Center for a longer visit, or return to central Nuremberg to conclude the tour.

Paul was a great guide very knowledgeable and Nuremberg is a must see! You will not regret booking and if you get Paul you are in for a treat.

Pls town Nuremburg portion was good. Paul very engaging and knowledgeable and interactive. Downside was tour advertised at four hours including nazi rally grounds. We based travel on this. Tour was not to end until 5-1/2 hours so we had to miss the nazi ground stop which was main reason we went.
Merissa_d, May 2024
Paul was an exceptional tour guide. He was highly knowledgeable and made the tour a wonderful experience.
John_B, May 2024
The guide is excellent.
However, caution that this trip is not 4 hours as stated. It is 5+ hours. It also does the Rally Grounds last, not first as described. We had a time constraint of 4.5 hours, so we had to break off early and missed the grounds. The guide did the best he could in making the most of it. We just wish the description fit the tour.
Response from Host, May 2024
Hello and thanks for your review. Sorry the tour ran overtime and you couldn’t stay for the entire thing. However, I just checked and it doesn’t state in the tour description that we see the rally grounds first. We always visit the old town and then the rally grounds. Once again, sorry you didn’t have a chance to see the whole tour.
Jacob_K, May 2024
Great, informative tour. I was expecting to see more of the rallying grounds, however. Paul, our guide, was a cheerful and smart lad who spoke loud and clear English.

Claudia_M, Apr 2024
Achim was an amazing tour guide!!! Very knowledgeable, fun and always ready to answer our questions!!! We learned a lot and enjoy a wonderful walk around d Nuremberg!!!

Our guide, Nick was a wealth of knowledge! He had an excellent pace for a rather large group of attendees of varying ages and was very diplomatic in presentation of the history of the city. We saw all of Old Nuremberg, ate lunch on our own, and with his assistance, used public transportation to/from the Nazi Party Rally Grounds. This was a big walking day. We logged about 7 miles (some steep climbs and steps) on the day of the tour. If you have orthopedic ailments, this may not be the tour for you. Otherwise, highly recommend without reservations. A very economical half-day excursion.
