Explore Nuremberg Old Town on a Walking Tour with Varoom
Hello and welcome to Nuremberg - as a native, I’ll guide you through the city’s late‑Middle‑Ages “Golden Age,” focusing on craftsmen, traders and patricians as you explore the main market, the imperial Kaiserburg, the atmospheric Tiergärtnertorplatz and Nuremberg's most beautiful half-timbered street; you’ll also learn about Germany’s greatest artist, Albrecht Dürer, and other influential figures who shaped Franconia’s capital, while we honestly confront the city’s later romantic transfiguration, its misuse for the National Socialist “Party Rallies” and the destruction of Nuremberg in WWII - then discover how thoughtful reconstruction returned its identity; along the way I’ll provide practical tips for your stay, including recommendations on restaurants and other sights so you can make the most of your visit to Nuremberg Old Town.
