About this experience

This self-guided walking tour of Nuremberg allows you to explore the city's historical evolution from a medieval center to an industrial hub, including its reconstruction after World War II. The tour begins at Nuremberg's central station and includes stops at a modern artisans village, the Gothic St Lawrence Church, and the only baroque church in the city, as well as one of the few original medieval buildings that remain. This experience is suitable for travelers interested in history and architecture. It may not be ideal for those who prefer guided tours or have mobility issues, as it involves walking. Participants will learn about Nuremberg's Jewish history, sample traditional Lebkuchen gingerbread, and discover the city's shift to Lutheranism over 500 years ago. The tour concludes at Hauptmarkt, the main market square in Nuremberg.
