Overview

Guten tag and welcome to Nuremberg, birthplace of artist Albrecht Durer, one of the greatest painters and engravers Germany has ever produced, and home to a rich tapestry of art and architecture.

Perfectly suited for discovery on foot, our self-guided audio tour allows you to set your own pace and explore at your leisure as you uncover the stories of this enchanting medieval city.

You wil learn about a historic town hall featuring monumental painted frescoes, architecture that is hundreds of years old, and Nuremberg’s crowning glory, towering above the city, the colossal Nuremberg castle.

Simply download our self-guided audio tour, plug in your headphones, open the map that comes with your download and head to the tour starting point.
The tour will take approximately 2 hours, but you can pause the audio guide when needed. Grab a bite to eat or do some shopping along the way.

Itinerary

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.
Highlight One:
Discover the Church of Our Lady, a sublime example of Gothic brick architecture. Many of its impressive array of sculptures have been significantly restored after the church was almost destroyed in the Second World War.
Highlight Two:
The need to rebuild was a fate shared by many of Nuremberg’s buildings including Altes Rathaus, or Old Town Hall where you will encounter an awe-inspiring rebuild of the hall’s spire as well as the monumental painted frescoes.
Highlight Three:
Explore the delightful Nuremberg Toy Museum, home to toys and miniatures from the middle ages to today.
Highlight Four:
Learn about the rich history of Nuremberg’s crowning glory that towers above the city: the colossal Nuremberg Castle.

When prompted to download, I was directed to another site. It required another payment which I paid. The downloaded file periodically cut off on its own and when I paused the audio, it would automatically return to the beginning. I gave up. This was a waste of money. Note - this is the only negative experience I've had, all other La Vacanza Travel experiences have been outstanding.

Good information in the sections but at several stops, the audio would just stop at the same place and it was not our service as we had a good reception. This happened over and over again and it would have to get completely restart the app and our section then find our place where we left off. The point of the app is to do it at your own pace not have to stop and do the audio over and over again! it was just too frustrating and we never finished. It makes me hesitant to purchase any of the other tours.

We had issues with download but might just be us. We only had iPhones. It took sometime to download audio tour and map. We had good WIFI at our hotel where we downloaded. We had to keep an eye on the download, it paused, we could tap and would continue on. The audio part of tour was excellent, broken up into individual audio pieces for each stop. Another issue map would disappear so would have to open again thru download but we only have 2G data once we left our hotel. Tour was informative and interesting. Since broken up into pieces, we could stop have a lunch and visit museums, just continue on with tour when ready. Even with glitches we would do again.
