Guided tour to Nurembergs city wall

Join this guided walking tour in Nuremberg and find out why and how this city had become one of the best-protected cities in Europe!Nuremberg was probably the richest city in Germany in the Middle Ages and early modern times. That's why the great merchant lords, the pepper sacks, and also the common Nuremberg city folk repeatedly invested enormously in the city's fortifications and modernized them. For centuries, Nuremberg was one of the best-protected cities in Europe as a result. The walls and bastions were so powerful that the mere sight of them protected them against attacks. Even Wallenstein preferred not to attack Nuremberg directly because the city walls with their bastions and underground passages, thick round towers and battlements and kennels intimidated him.On this city wall tour, you will experience all the different fortified passages: underground ones in the wall and also those on top - which have not yet been open to the public. Peek through loopholes and get a whiff of black powder and learn how the Nurembergers protected themselves from their enemies in ancient times.
