Nuremberg Old Town and Nazi Rally Grounds Walking Tour

About this tour

Meet us in front of the train station (Hauptbahnhof) and explore Nuremberg’s medieval walled Old Town as well as the infamous former Nazi Rally Grounds on this English-language tour. Enjoy views over the city from the Imperial Castle, where Holy Roman Emperors ruled. Explore Gothic churches with inspiring works by talented German artists, and see Third Reich buildings.
Experience the Hauptmarkt where colorful markets have been held for nearly 700 years. Take in the seasonal markets or even the cozy Christmas markets in December. Get recommendations from your guide on where you can enjoy the best traditional food and beer in the city.

After experiencing the Old Town, take a break for lunch in the marketplace before boarding a bus for the former Nazi Party Rally Grounds. Some of the largest Third Reich buildings left in the world still silently testify to the megalomania of a madman.

See where stormtroopers paraded, and where Adolf Hitler inspected columns of SS men and performed pseudo-religious cult rituals before the saluting masses as part of the Nazi propaganda machine, and learn how Nuremberg deals with this dark part of its past today.

The tour ends back at the train station (Hauptbahnhof) where the tour began. Total time including lunch break is around 4 hours. Occasionally the tour can run longer depending on the speed of the group and events taking place in the city.
