Walk through the Imperial Castle of Nuremberg and pause at two of its towers to explore the fortified heart of the city. The museum introduces the castle’s history, while the towers bring its defensive character into view. Rather than promising a particular skyline, this route lets you appreciate how these substantial structures still define the experience of the castle precinct. Take your time at each stop and enjoy the atmosphere of Nuremberg’s historic fortifications.

How a walk works

The guide starts talking when you arrive.

This page is the map and the itinerary. The app is the guide who walks it with you.

  1. Pick a walk

    Every stop is a real place, already in walking order.

  2. Pocket your phone

    Follow the line on the live map, or download the walk before you lose signal.

  3. Listen as you arrive

    On a narrated walk the story starts on its own at each stop, so your eyes stay on the place.
