Overview
Nuremberg was founded in 975 and grew into the second-largest city in medieval Germany. On this private walking tour, I take you through the Old Town where over 1,000 years of history are still visible in the walls, churches, and alleys. We start at the Old Town Hall, walk through medieval lanes and across bridges that are over 500 years old, past Gothic churches among the oldest in Germany, and end at the Imperial Castle with a panoramic view over the entire city. I am a historian based in Nuremberg. Instead of listing facts, I connect each place to the people who shaped it: emperors at the castle, merchants at the market, and Dürer who made this city famous across Europe. I also show you what survived the destruction of 1945 and where the line between original and reconstruction runs today. The tour is private. You set the pace and the focus. At the end, I give you personal recommendations for restaurants, museums, and anything else for your stay.
