Your tour begins on the banks of the River Pegnitz at the Fleisch Bridge, a Late Renaissance stone bridge offering captivating city views. From here you will embark on a discovery of Nuremberg that offers a fascinating insight into the city’s treasure trove of stories and, sometimes dark, secrets.
The tour is expertly written and designed by our team of historians and archaeologists and superbly narrated by recording artist Noah Kershishnik of Audible fame.
