Discover a truly extraordinary place: beautiful and prosperous old-world medieval walled city, centre of the Holy Roman Empire, cradle of the German Renaissance, Temple City of the Third Reich, and home to both the Nuremberg Nazi Rallies and Nuremberg War Crimes Trials. Our expert guides will show you where German Emperors were crowned, where saints were buried, where the most famous and talented German artisans in history created inspirational, awe-inspiring works, and where the colourful and lively markets have taken place for almost 700 years. You can spend days exploring the enchanting Old Town with its fantastic regional food and drink and the oldest Christmas Markets in Germany (Christmas Markets are in December, but Christmas shopping is available year-round).

But we'll show you more: The Nazi Rally Grounds, the largest Third Reich buildings in the world silently testifying to the megalomania of a madman, where Nazi Stormtroopers paraded while singing the praises of their Führer, where Hitler personally inspected columns of “perfect” SS men and performed pseudo-religious cult rituals before hundreds of thousands, and where the German masses saluted the swastika. Plus, the Nuremberg Courthouse will open to the public for the first time this year! See Courtroom 600, the very room where the victorious Allies put the “Main Offenders of the Third Reich” on trial before the eyes of the world. Perhaps the most famous trials in history, this is where many of the murderous masterminds of Hitler's war finally faced justice and the gallows.

Our guides are all fluent English speakers who are knowledgable, personable, experienced, enthusiastic and have lived in Germany for at least five years. Nuremberg: The City of Empires tour was started in 2007 by Jason Eilers, an American ex-pat with an M.A. in history. You can find out more about him here.
