On an English walking tour of Nuremberg’s medieval walled Old Town, you will explore streets and squares that reflect the city’s long history. Nuremberg’s past stretches back to the Holy Roman Empire; it was a cradle of the German Renaissance and later played an important role under the Third Reich. Along the way you’ll hear the stories behind that history and see key landmarks, including St Lawrence Church, Albrecht Dürer Platz, the Imperial Castle courtyards, the Old Town Hall, the Beautiful Fountain and the Nuremberg Hauptmarkt (marketplace).

As you move through these must-visit sites, your guide will provide context and local insights. You’ll also receive suggestions for what to do after the tour and where to sample regional specialties, such as the famous Nuremberg sausages and the city’s amber lager (Rotbier). The commentary and tips will help you plan the next part of your visit and make the most of Nuremberg’s food and cultural offerings.
