Nuremberg is known worldwide for its Christmas market, Albrecht Dürer and bratwurst. But the city has much more to offer: In an entertaining 90-minute walk under an expert guide, you will not only discover the postcard motifs of the Pegnitz metropolis, but also gain fascinating insights into its past.

The tour leads from the Hangman's House along the Pegnitz to the main market with the Frauenkirche and the Beautiful Fountain, on to the historic town hall and the famous Sebaldus Church and finally back through Weißgerbergasse, which was largely spared from war damage, over the Maxbrücke and the most beautiful part of the old town.

This tour is a German-speaking tour.

Henkerhaus

In the heart of Nuremberg's old town, built directly over the Pegnitz, is the 500-year-old executioner's house. For centuries, the building served as the official residence of the Nuremberg executioners and their families. Today, a newly designed exhibition on legal and criminal history awaits visitors in the historic building.

    Great tour, especially for people who don't know beautiful Nuremberg very well. You learn a lot about the origins of the city, the most important professions and crafts, and the central monuments.
