Nuremberg Guided Day Trip from Munich by Train
Description
For 1,000 years, Nuremberg has played a decisive role in Germany's fortunes. From Holy Roman Emperors to the Renaissance, from the Third Reich to modern Bavaria, this city has seen empires rise and fall. You’ll hear the city´s amazing history, admire the colorful Marketplace, and learn where to get the famous Nuremberg sausages and "Red Beer". Explore the Old Town, take in the view from the Imperial Castle, visit the beautifully restored gothic Church of St Sebald, or just relax over lunch and soak in the atmosphere. After the break, we'll show you the darker side of Nuremberg's history at the former Nazi Rally Grounds. Here Hitler's architect Albert Speer planned and began to build the "Temple City of the Third Reich". Here the Nazis paraded for the saluting masses and propaganda films, creating some of the most infamous images in history. You'll stand in the middle of some of the largest Third Reich ruins in the world as your guide explains how the city confronts this history today

The destination, Nuremberg, is great and the guide is also very good. The process of getting on the train is something to consider. It is a long ride on a crowded train. On the way back, we were told to spread out on the track, and we missed the train because the track changed and we didn’t know. Good trip, difficult process.
Great day out . Very informative our guide was amazing . Had a bit of trouble with train on the way back. He kept us well informed what was going on
Fascinating tour especially with Achim as our guide! We learned so much and really enjoyed our day.
Thanks so much for your review! We are happy to know you enjoyed your tour with Achim :) See you next time!
If you like riding trains for 5 hours plus round trip from Munich, this tour is for you. Hardly any time spent seeing any sights. Our guide was very good at describing the history of Nuremberg, just had no time to see anything. All in all, a total waste of time and money.
Lee, we are sorry to hear that this tour was not for you. Yes, Nuremberg is a 2 hour train ride, which we assume you will know when booking a ticket. We are glad to hear that your guide was good, which is why you go on such a tour. Safe travels
The guide was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I would do this tour again and recommend it to everyone.
John, thanks for the recommendation of your tour to Nuremberg with Radius Tours, greatly appreciated.
Paul was extremely well versed in the history of Nuremberg. We enjoyed the history lesson so much!!
Judy, great that you enjoyed your tour to Nuremberg with Paul and Radius Tours.
Very poor trip The starting hours were rubbish Should of been an hour or two earlier I spent most of time chasing buses and trains rushing the trip The lunch was quite good The Ww2 tour was joke
We are sorry you felt the tour was poorly done. Radius Tours
Our tour guide Paul was fantastic. This is a historical tour that goes into not only the ancient history of Nürnberg but also into the details of WWII and how the Nazi party came to be. Paul showed us the major landmarks and we had plenty of chances to take pictures. It is fast paced and we covered a lot of ground. Easy walking surfaces. We even had a 1 hourbreak to eat lunch (we paid ourselves, but sat as a group). If you enjoy learning the historical background of a city, this is for you and Paul is your guide!
Julio, Thank you for this outstanding review of the tour in Nuremberg. We are glad you had a great expereince with Paul. Radius Tours
Lots of walking and the [no a/c] bus that takes you from one side of the town to the WW2 sites was swelteringly hot on a 75-degree day. If warm, dress lightly.
Gerry, Thank you very much for the review, recommendations and advice. This is great. Radius Tours
Jason was an absolute delight. He was very knowledgeable about the sites we saw in Nuremberg and he gave us plenty of time for lunch at the Bratwurst Röslein restaurant.
William, glad you had a great day in Nuremberg with Jason.
