Nuremberg is world-famous for its Christmas market, Albrecht Dürer and bratwurst, but the city has many more stories to tell. On this entertaining guided walk with an expert you will see the postcard views along the Pegnitz and learn about the people and events that shaped the city. Along the way you will gain fascinating insights into Nuremberg’s past.

The route takes you from the Hangman’s House along the river to the main market with the Frauenkirche and the Beautiful Fountain, then on to the historic town hall and the well-known Sebaldus Church. The return leads through Weißgerbergasse, a street largely spared from war damage, crosses the Maxbrücke and brings you through what is often called the most beautiful part of the old town. The tour is conducted in German.
