6.City tour of Nuremberg

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 64 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $27

Review of Nuremberg’s two-hour hop-on hop-off city tour, covering the castle, Nazi rally grounds, Old Town, audio guide, price, and practical tips.

“The tour was amazing and the driver was very impressive navigating the narrow streets and traffic. We chose to sit upstairs which was a little chilly but they had blankets we could use. I do recommend bringing your own wired headphones if you need English or another language other than German. They do sell them on the bus but you would probably be happier with your own. It worked out great to get off at the document center and see everything and then pick it up again to complete the tour.”
