Tour description

The city tour under the free tour modality is the best introduction to Nuremberg.
The aim is to get to know the old town so well that, at the end of the tour, you will feel like a true Nuremberger.
Nuremberg is a place of unparalleled beauty that hides many facts and stories for people who walk its cobbled streets for the first time. That is why it is necessary to have the company of a local guide and advisor to get to know the imperial city better, to know its history, to walk its streets and not get lost in the network of Straßen, Gassen, Gässchen, Toren, Türme and Plätze... And to think that it is so easy to simply say “street” or “square”. The idea of the tour is to get to know the main things in Nuremberg in order to know what the city is about and not die trying, from the origins of the main market, Hauptmarkt, to knowing what they give you when you order “Drei im Weggla” at any street food stand.

A tour of the old town of Nuremberg is a journey through 1000 years of history, from its origins in 1050 to the present day. In the 20th century, the city had a sad role as the city chosen by Hitler himself to hold the Nazi Party Congresses. We will also tell you why this happened and why the Nuremberg Trials were held here.
