Nuremberg: Medieval Splendour and Modern History

Discover Nuremberg on a private day trip from Munich and explore one of Germany’s most fascinating historic cities. From the medieval Imperial Castle and picturesque Old Town to gingerbread, Nuremberg reveals many layers of German history. As an architect and certified professional guide, I will help you read the city through its buildings, streets and public spaces. We will explore medieval fortifications, Gothic churches, traditional half-timbered houses and the carefully reconstructed Old Town while discussing how Nuremberg has repeatedly reinvented itself. The tour is private and can be adapted to your interests and preferred pace. We normally travel together from Munich to Nuremberg by train and return the same day. Train tickets are not included, but I will gladly help you select the most suitable connection and ticket. Alternatively, the journey can be made with a licensed private chauffeur booked and paid for separately by the travellers.
