Nuremberg Ghosts and Gallows Walking Tour

Discover the darker side of Nuremberg on this small-group evening walking tour (in English). With its bloody medieval history, Nuremberg has no shortage of gruesome tales of torture, murder, execution, and death. As the Ghosts and Gallows title suggests, once the executioner's job is done, sometimes something remains.
Your professional paranormal guide will lead you through the darkening streets of the Old Town; sharing tales of haunted places, ghastly rituals, medieval torture, the shadows of the Third Reich, and even aliens from outer space. As night falls, we guarantee that you'll never look at Nuremberg the same way again. Note: this tour has a hilly terrain and may not be suitable for all fitness levels.
