Tour Details
Meet your guide in the historic centre of Nuremberg at the indicated time, and begin your walking tour. You will explore the Medieval buildings lining Hauptmarkt, the main market square, which was the Jewish Quarter before World War II. Learn about the persecution of Jews in Nuremberg as you stroll towards the monument in memory of the former Synagogue. Your guide will discuss Kristallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass, during the exploration of the old town.
Discover Nuremberg's significance for Hitler and the Nazi Party, and hear about figures like Julius Streicher. At the ruins of Katharinenkirche, a Medieval church destroyed during World War II, your tour will highlight the resistance and liberation of the city, mentioning the role of women in reconstruction, referred to as "Trümmerfrauen" or "rubble women".
Visit St Lorenz, a 13th-century Gothic church, to learn about concentration camps and their prisoners before proceeding to one of Hitler's preferred buildings, the Opera House or Staatstheater Nürnberg. Your final stop will be the Way of Human Rights (Strasse der Menschenrechte), where your guide will explain the postwar Nuremberg Trials and their impact on international law. The tour lasts 3 hours and concludes in the centre of Nuremberg.
