Tour description
Nuremberg wears its long and layered history openly: an imperial city of the Holy Roman Empire, home to the artist Dürer, and a place that confronts its 20th-century past with unusual honesty. Ringed by medieval walls and crowned by an imperial castle, its old town is one of the most atmospheric in Germany. On this walking tour a local guide brings the whole story to life.\n\nYou will climb toward the great castle, wander lanes of half-timbered houses, and stand in the famous market square that hosts Germany's most beloved Christmas market. Rich, walkable and deeply historic, Nuremberg offers a journey through the heights and depths of European history.
