I'm Andreas, a 32 year old, born and raised in Nuremberg. The first walking tour tour I joined was with my grandfather who lived in Nuremberg for 86 years. He showed his 5 year old grandson his city. Now I have this small tour-company and my partners and me want to do the same for you. Our goal is, to break down Nurembergs history, culture and its architectural highlights in a walking tour of around 2:15 hours. You will learn about Nurembergs "Golden Age" in the late middle ages and from the "Dark Age" in the "3rd Reich". You will see beautiful half-timbered houses, churches and the castle. You will learn all about the typicall Nuremberg specialites and where to find the best places to get them. Together we will go to the house of the most important German artist, Albrecht Durer. Listen to stories of the hangman Franz Schmidt, and why he was a far more friendly character you might think. Understand Nurembergs path to deal with the heritage of the Nazi-era and how the city was rebuild after its doom in WW2.

If you are a history buff, you've come to the right place! Nuremberg, the second largest city of Bavaria is so much more than Third Reich history, Nazi Trials and WWII memorabilia: from the undeclared capital of the Holy Roman Empire and the preferred residence of most German kings to a magnet for famous artists like Albrecht Dürer and to a powerhouse in Germany’s industrial revolution in the 19th century, Nuremberg had them all. Even Martin Luther wrote about the city: ” It shines throughout Germany like a sun among the moon and stars.” Stroll in the old town through narrow streets, along the city walls, and admire the old timbered houses seen every step of the way. At Hauptmarkt, notice the ornate Gothic church Frauenkirche, where the crowds gather to see the clock's figures enact a spectacle called the Little Men Dancing and wonder at the golden ring of the Schöner Brunnen (Beautiful Fountain). According to legend, the two golden seamless rings were made by an apprentice of the blacksmith who made the iron protection around the gothic fountain, whose love was said to be as impossible as making said rings. Learn all about this and other legends, and know which rings to turn, and in which direction. Come and understand exactly why and how Nuremberg got this well-deserved fame.
