Medieval streets, imperial power, and the darkest chapter of the 20th century—this is Nuremberg in all its complexity.
On this private half-day tour, you’ll explore two very different faces of Nuremberg: the beautifully preserved medieval Old Town and the vast remains of the Nazi Party Rally Grounds, where history must be remembered and understood. Traveling exclusively with your private guide, the experience is fully personalized, allowing time for questions, discussion, and thoughtful reflection at your own pace.
Medieval Heritage, Third Reich History & Modern Reflection
Your tour starts in central Nuremberg, where you’ll meet your experienced English-speaking private guide. Traveling primarily on foot and using Germany’s efficient public transportation (included), this private format allows for flexibility, deeper storytelling, and the freedom to focus on what interests you most.
Walking is the best way to understand Nuremberg—and every corner has a story to tell.
Historic Highlights
We begin in the heart of the Old Town, where centuries of history unfold among half-timbered houses, fortified walls, and cobbled streets.
- The Imperial Castle courtyards, once home to Holy Roman Emperors
- The Old Town Hall, symbol of civic power and medieval governance
- The Craftsmen’s Courtyard, full of traditional shops and local character
- The historic Market Square, surrounded by Gothic architecture
With a private guide, there’s ample time to pause, explore details, and tailor the experience to your interests as the medieval city comes to life.
Lunch Break & Local Flavor
Enjoy a relaxed lunch break at the Marketplace, where your guide can recommend authentic local specialties such as:
- Famous Nürnberger Bratwurst
- Traditional Amber Lager (Rotbier) unique to Nuremberg
Lunch is independent and flexible, allowing you to choose how and where you’d like to spend your time.
The Nazi Rally Grounds – Understanding the Past
In the second half of the tour, we travel to the former Nazi Party Rally Grounds, home to some of the most significant surviving structures of the Third Reich.
In a respectful and informative private setting, your guide explains how architecture, propaganda, and mass rallies were used by the Nazi regime—and why understanding this history remains essential today.
- Zeppelin Field and Grandstand
- Congress Hall (exterior)
- Context on the rallies, the regime, and the Nuremberg Trials
This portion of the tour invites reflection, dialogue, and deeper historical understanding.
