What the operator says

For nearly four centuries, the crown, sceptre, and orb of the Holy Roman Empire were locked inside a hospital chapel in this city — until Napoleon's army forced their evacuation and Hitler ordered them brought back. This self-guided audio tour of Nuremberg traces the stories behind that kind of history across 22 stops. From the medieval Meat Bridge engineered like Venice's Rialto to the tunnels where citizens hid priceless art from Allied bombs, this Nuremberg walking tour covers 600 years of empire, rebellion, and reinvention. You'll stand where the Reformation took hold, walk a corridor of pillars confronting the city's darkest chapter, and discover a fountain built to disguise a subway vent. The app guides you stop by stop with maps and narration — no fixed start time, no group to keep up with. Pause for a Bratwurst, linger in a Gothic church, or skip ahead. Over 20,000 travelers have used our self-guided tours, and a full refund guarantee means there's nothing to risk.
