The experience

The tour starts at the Documentation Center at the Nazi Party Rally Grounds, where you walk through the grounds and the exhibition. From there you move to the Justice Palace to see Room 600 and the exhibition space where the Nuremberg Trials took place. The courtroom where Nazi leaders were prosecuted after World War II. The guide provides the full historical context whether you're inside the building or viewing it from outside, depending on the day and the exhibition schedule.

After the Justice Palace, you break for lunch in the Old Town at a bratwurst restaurant the guide recommends (lunch is on your own). Then the tour moves through Nuremberg's medieval center, passing the Main Market Square, the Beautiful Fountain, Fleischbrücke, the Church of St. Sebald, Tanners' Alley, and ending at the castle overlook before finishing in front of City Hall. The route covers seven hours total and runs regardless of weather.

Pickup and dropoff happen in a private Mercedes van, and the guide is the top-rated Nuremberg tour operator. The guide wears a mask while driving and recommends passengers do the same, though it's your choice. Children under 12 years old or under 4 feet in height need a car seat.
