Step into the many layers of Nuremberg’s past on this small group walking tour. From medieval streets and imperial landmarks to the powerful remains of the Nazi Rally Grounds, this experience offers an insightful and thought-provoking journey through one of Germany’s most historically significant cities.
Nuremberg Old Town & Nazi Rally Grounds
Medieval streets, imperial power, and the darkest chapter of the 20th century—this is Nuremberg in all its complexity.
On this small group 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. With limited group size, the experience remains personal, thoughtful, and engaging—allowing time for questions, discussion, and reflection.
Medieval Heritage, Third Reich History & Modern Reflection
Your tour starts in central Nuremberg, where you’ll meet your experienced English-speaking guide. Traveling primarily on foot and using Germany’s efficient public transportation (included), this small-group format allows for a relaxed pace and meaningful storytelling.
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 small group, there’s time to pause, observe details, and ask questions as your guide brings the medieval city to life.
