Nuremberg Rally Grounds and Old Town Walking Tour in English｜Germany

Meet your expert guide in front of the train station (Hauptbahnhof) and explore Nuremberg’s medieval walled Old Town as well as the infamous former Nazi Party Rally Grounds on this informative and entertaining tour in English. See the Craftsmen's Court, where local artisans still work with traditional materials and methods, and enjoy views over the city from the Imperial Castle courtyards, where Holy Roman Emperors ruled Germany for over 500 years. Admire Gothic churches with inspiring works by master artists and some of the best preserved medieval fortifications in Europe. Plus, find out where to try the city's famous grilled sausages and amber lager (Rotbier)!

Stroll through the Hauptmarkt, where colorful markets have been held for nearly 700 years. Take in the seasonal markets and festivals, including the Christmas markets in December, while getting recommendations from your guide on where you can enjoy the best traditional food, beer, and wine in the city. You'll hear tales and legends from the middle ages and renaissance, as well as get practical information about the city today.

Take a break for lunch in the marketplace (own expense) before heading out to the former Nazi Party Rally Grounds. Some of the largest Third Reich remains left in the world still silently testify to the megalomania of a madman. We'll show you the parade grounds, where Adolf Hitler inspected columns of SS men and performed before the saluting masses as part of the Nazi propaganda machine. You'll also learn how the city of Nuremberg confronts this dark past today. Then we enter the remains of the Congress Hall of the Nazi Party, the Nazis' half-finished attempt to build a Roman Colosseum.

Finally, we take a tram (streetcar) back to the train station (Hauptbahnhof) where the tour began. All public transportation costs are included in the tour price. The total time of the tour including lunch break is about 4 hours.

Our goal is to both inform and entertain visitors to this great city. We offer tours led by experienced, fluent English-speaking guides who will give you the stories behind the history!
