Nuremberg Highlights

Nuremberg is known worldwide for the Christkindlesmarkt, Albrecht Dürer and bratwurst. But the city has much more to offer: In a short 90-minute walk under an expert guide, you will not only discover the postcard motifs of the Pegnitz metropolis, but also gain fascinating insights into its past.

The tour leads from the Henkerhaus along the Pegnitz to the main market with the Frauenkirche and the beautiful fountain, on to the historic town hall and the famous Sebalduskirche and finally back through Weißgerbergasse, which was largely spared from the damage of the war, via the Maxbrücke and the most beautiful part of the old town.
