About this experience

Before booking, note that there is no fixed start time, allowing you to begin when convenient. A full refund guarantee is provided.
Itinerary
1
Ehekarussell
Walk around the bronze marriage scenes that were built to hide a subway ventilation shaft.
2
Strasse der Menschenrechte
Pass through thirty pillars inscribed in thirty languages — placed here to answer for laws once written in this same city.
3
Fleischbrucke
Cross a bridge engineered like Venice's Rialto, then find the stone ox that was never a calf.
4
Heilig-Geist-Spital
Peer into the chapel where the Holy Roman Empire's crown jewels were guarded for nearly four centuries.
5
Hauptmarkt
Stand in a market square built on ground that was cleared by a pogrom — and sanctioned by an emperor.
6
Frauenkirche
Wait for noon and watch mechanical figures re-enact an oath sworn to an emperor in this very square.
7
Frauenkirche
Spot the altarpiece panel where a medieval painter hid Nuremberg's own skyline inside a biblical scene.
8
Nurnberger Rathaus
Pause at the building where diplomats once feasted upstairs while prisoners suffered in dungeons directly below.
9
St. Sebaldus Church
Face the crucifix that was carved with its eyes open — and consider why that unsettled an entire congregation.
10
St. Sebaldus Church
Trace the carved figures flanking the entrance and find the prince holding a church in the palm of his hand.
11
St. Sebaldus Church
See the bronze shrine where a saint's bones rest inside a masterwork that took its creator over a decade to finish.
12
Albrecht-durer-haus
Enter the studio of the artist who turned a simple watercolour of a hare into one of the most recognised paintings on earth.
13
Kaiserburg Nurnberg
Climb to the fortress where every Holy Roman Emperor was required to hold court — and find out what happened when one refused.
14
Kaiserburg Nurnberg
Look down from walls that were never breached and trace the layers of power built into the hilltop over five centuries.
15
Historischer Kunstbunker
Descend into the tunnels where Nuremberg hid its greatest treasures from the bombs — and where American soldiers found a stolen crown.
16
Weinstadel
Walk the bridge once reserved for the city's executioner — the one man nobody in Nuremberg would live beside.
17
Weissgerbergasse
Stroll the last intact row of medieval half-timbered houses and ask why this street survived when ninety percent of the Old Town didn't.
