Overview

Nuremberg is known worldwide for its Christmas market, Albrecht Dürer and bratwurst. But the city has much more to offer: In an entertaining 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 Hangman's House along the Pegnitz to the main market with the Frauenkirche and the Beautiful Fountain, on to the historic town hall and the famous Sebaldus Church and finally back through Weißgerbergasse, which was largely spared from war damage, over the Maxbrücke and the most beautiful part of the old town.

This tour is a German-speaking tour.

    Weissgerbergasse

    The houses on Weißgerbergasse survived the air raids in World War II largely unscathed. In this way, part of its late medieval character could be preserved and today allows us an insight into the world of Nuremberg crafts. As the name of the street suggests, lived and worked here once white tanners who made a particularly fine leather from wild, lamb and goat skins.
