Description
Hello and welcome to Nuremberg. As a Nuremberg native, I would be happy to present you my hometown. The focus will be on Nuremberg's "Golden Age" of the late Middle Ages with its craftsmen, traders and patricians. We visit, among other things, the main market, Kaiserburg and Tiergärtnertorplatz as well as Nuremberg's most beautiful half-timbered street. Of course, we also learn about Germany's greatest artist, Albrecht Dürer, and other personalities who shaped Franconia's capital. Unfortunately, a direct path from Nuremberg's "Golden age" leads to its romantic transfiguration and to the misuse of the city's reputation for the National Socialist "Party Rallies" and ultimately to complete destruction in the WWII. But this shouldn't be the end. The reconstruction of Nuremberg gave the city back its identity. It would be a pleasure to guide you through Nurembergs history and culture. Of course, you will receive all the information you need about your stay, including recommendations on restaurants and other sights. See you in Nuremberg.

Nuremburg Walking Tour
I did a Nuremburg walking tour today with Alexandra. Our guide was interesting and energetic. She is passionate about educating people about Nuremburg. She shared many interesting historical facts and added fun information about food, beer and restaurants. I would highly recommend this tour with Alexandra.

Illuminating walk through old town Nuremburg
Walking tour was excellent with Tom in English. He brought a lifetime of history knowledge to the tour and made it interesting while we walked. He allowed us to take photos at the best spots and gave recommendations of his favorite places. It was more than I expected and I would recommend anyone who likes to walk around a city and explore and learn about it as they get some exercise to do this!
G
Very Informative
This is an overview of old Nurenberg, visiting several sites-all outside. It offers some history of the area during the Middle Ages as well as a bit about the dark times. If you get Andreas as your guide, you’ll be in great hands!
