Highlights

Travel by train from Munich to Nuremberg and spend a day seeing the historical city’s highlights with a private guide. With a flexible itinerary that’s tailored to your interests, the full-day sightseeing tour takes in two of Nuremberg’s must-visit sites: the walled medieval Old Town and the former Nazi Party Rally Grounds. Admire stunning Gothic architecture, and then learn about Nuremberg during the days of the Third Reich while visiting the Imperial Castle, St Lawrence Church, Luitpold Arena, Congress Hall of the Nazi Party and more. Or, if you prefer, visit to the Nuremberg Trials Courthouse instead (open every day except Tuesday). The tour price includes first class regional train tickets. For an additional fee, taking the ICE train is also possible.

Please note that the courthouse and the rally grounds are on opposite sides of the city so it is not possible to include the courthouse and a tour of the old town and a trip to the rally grounds all on one tour. You will have time two out of the three areas. Just let your guide know what you are most interested in. Please also note that the courthouse museum is closed on Tuesdays.

About Munich

Munich is the Bavarian capital, with a rebuilt old town, beer gardens, royal palaces and the Alps visible on clear days to the south.

Marienplatz, the main square, is overlooked by the neo-Gothic New Town Hall, whose Glockenspiel chimes with mechanical figures, and by the twin onion-domed towers of the Frauenkirche. The Viktualienmarkt close by is a food market with a beer garden. The Residenz, the former home of Bavaria's rulers, has lavish halls and a treasury, and Nymphenburg Palace stands in a park to the west.

Top-ranked sights in Munich: Neuschwanstein Castle, Marienplatz, Odeonsplatz.
