Tours & Activities in Nuremberg
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.

Join our Nazi Rally Grounds Tour in Nuremberg, where history comes alive amidst the remnants of a dark past.
Our tour begins at the Flieger-Denkmal, a memorial of the fighter pilots of WWI and WWII.
Continuing our exploration, we arrive at the remainings of the former Luitpoldarena, a striking amphitheater designed for propaganda events and military displays, but today also a place to mourn the victims of the Nazi regime.
We proceed to the Kongresshalle, a colossal congress hall intended as a monumental centerpiece for Nazi propaganda events. Though never completed, its refelcting the intend to manipulate the masses by spectacle and fear.
As we move through the sprawling grounds, we encounter Zeppelinfeld, another imposing arena built to host Nazi rallies and mass gatherings. Imagine the fervent crowds and thunderous speeches that once echoed across this vast arena, as Hitler and his cohorts rallied support for their sinister agenda.
We also take our time to reflect the Nuremberg trials, the important aftermath to the 3rd Reich. Here the surviving highest ranks of the Nazi regime were brought to justice.
It also was meant to be the beginning of a process of denazification here in Germany.
This heritage, including the Nazi rallies, the events leading up to World War II the Nuremberg trials and most important the Holocaust, are the key to understand modern German political culture, and Nuremberg is one of the best cities to get in touch with it.
We end at the Doku-Zentrum, a museum dedicated to documenting the history of the Nazi rallies. Here, you'll have the opportunity to extend your insights into the ideology, propaganda, and atrocities of the Third Reich.
