About this Tour
Discover Nuremberg's medieval old town with your children — one of the best-preserved medieval cities in Germany. On your own and at your own pace. If you need a break along the way, want to eat an original Nuremberg bratwurst or want to explore the city wall for a longer period of time, then go ahead! The aim of the scavenger hunt is not only to guess the answer, but also to spend a nice and entertaining day with your children. And perhaps on the way to learn something about Nuremberg's history, medieval life and famous artists such as Albrecht Dürer.
The route: Your scavenger hunt starts at the Frauentor, one of the historic city gates. The GPS map on your smartphone takes you through Nuremberg's medieval alleys — past the Nassau House and Holy Spirit Hospital to the main market square with the Frauenkirche, up to the imposing Old Town Hall and the mighty Kaiserburg. Then it's off to the famous Albrecht Dürer House, through the picturesque Weißgerbergasse along the city wall. You end at the historic executioner's tower with a view of the Pegnitz. The perfect place to recharge your batteries after your tour and discuss your shared experiences. At which stations do you stop along the way? Well, there must also be a bit of surprise.
