Retrace the long history of Nuremberg, the birthplace of the Holy Roman Empire and a seat of power for the Third Reich, on a tour of the historic old town. See the mighty Nuremberg Castle and get an in-depth look at Nazi tyranny with a visit to the Documentation Centre.
Few cities have a history more storied than Nuremberg, for better or for worse. The city hosted emperors and medieval councils and was central to the Reformation, but was also the site of huge Nazi rallies and the Nuremberg war-crimes trials. After a ride from Munich, take a walk through the historic old town for a look at both sides of its past.
Take your time to stroll through the city's cobbled alleys at your own pace. You can see the mighty Nuremburg Castle and the city walls, as well as the many churches, monuments, and half-timbered houses that still show the glamour of the city's old imperial days.
You can also see monumental structures erected by the Nazis to reflect the megalomania of Hitler and the Third Reich's leaders. Visit the Documentation Centre, built on the former Nazi rally grounds, for a comprehensive insight into this dark era of German history.
