The Nuremberg Old Town Walking Tour
Visiting the historical sites of Nuremberg brings the past to life for my customers. When you take my Walking Tours of Nuremberg, you’ll gain an understanding of the events and people who brought this great city out of obscurity and into world renown. With a customized walking tour of medieval Nuremberg, I bring both considerable experience and a personalized interpretation of the events that created the Nuremberg of the High Middle Ages. At that time, Nuremberg had the reputation for being the ‘unofficial capital’ of the Holy Roman Empire. This was because Nuremberg Castle was the site of imperial diets (the imperial legislature) and royal courts. The significance of Nuremberg continues to reverberate through the centuries to our generation.
Come stand where the kings of Germany held court. Imagine the narrow streets of the historic districts during the time of the Black Plague. Learn how Nuremberg was positioned to grow into the third largest city of the German Empire in the Middle Ages and how it became a substantial influence throughout Europe. I begin the Nuremberg Walking Tour in English at the Frauentortum. We’ll stroll at a comfortable pace through the sites and sounds of Nuremberg and visit such sites as these:
