The guide leads them around the Dutzendteich. On the "Große Straße" you learn about the numerous buildings that were planned. In addition to the "Märzfeld" and the "Deutsches Stadion", the participant camps were also embedded in the Nazi machinery of crime during the war.
See the Zeppelin Field and its massive grandstand.
From the "Zeppelintribüne", the guide will explain what events took place here between 1934 and 1938 and how the site is used today.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and shared this in an effective and enjoyable way. A must for any one with an interest in ww2
Very informative. Maik was very knowledgeable and answered all questions with great detail. Compared to other walking tours, it could be way cheaper.
Our guide Christoph was amazing. We really enjoyed his presentation style and passion for showing the site. He provided some amazing visual aids which helped you to gain a great understanding of everything. The pace of the tour was also perfect, allowing participants time to learn as well as ask questions. Finally the tour was reasonably priced so that was nice.
Thank you so much for the great feedback! We would love to see you again in Nuremberg.
Much of Congress Hall, the exhibitions and Zeppelin Grandstand were closed for renovations. This was disappointing.
Dear Keith, thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry that there is currently a lot of construction taking place on the former Nazi party rally grounds. However, we always mention this in our tour announcements so that, ideally, no one’s expectations will be disappointed in the end. Warm regards from Nuremberg
I really enjoyed the tour and learnt a lot. Our guide Anita was excellent! During the the walk she showed some historical pictures of the places
Vielen herzlichen Dank für das wertschätzende Feedback!
The guide was amazing! Very knowledgeable and painted a picture of what went on here. I would not purchase your ticket on trip advisor on site they sell tickets for 10 to 12 euro. It is still under construction but in my opinion it doesn't effect the tour.
Thanks for being our guest and your kindness
It’s a waking tour, you’re going to walk. Be prepared for all and any type of weather. Just come prepared
Thank you!
Found the tour a bit disjointed. 2 ladies were late so we were walked round for 10 minutes trying to find them. Tour was about 3 mile walk in total. Distanced was ok but some were struggling.
Thank you for joining our tour of the former Nazi party rally grounds. We make every effort to highlight the size of the grounds and the walking time involved in our tour descriptions. However, it is possible that you may still find the route strenuous. Perhaps we can convince you to try one of our many other products in the future, for example in Nuremberg city centre. We look forward to welcoming you back as our guest.
There are basically only three stops on the tour. The Congress, Great Road & Rally Grounds. The Congress is partly obscured by the temporary Opera building, the Great Road is interesting to look at its size & length - but is just a road. The Rally grounds are under scaffolding meaning you can’t walk on the balcony . The organisers should have known the Golden Room would be closed as it too is under scaffolding.
We are sorry to hear that you were not entirely satisfied with the tour of the former Nazi party rally grounds. Unfortunately, there are currently many construction sites on the grounds, which means that the ‘Golden Hall’, for example, cannot be visited. To avoid disappointment, we removed access to the ‘Golden Hall’ from the product description some time ago. Together with our guests, we look forward to the time when all the relics will be fully visible again.
Very knowledgeable tour guide explains the rise of Nazi fascism in Nuremberg, and the plans for the massive fascist building projects. You will be on your feet for 2 hours, and it is a long walk, so be prepared for whatever the weather is, and wear good walking shoes.
Thank you so much for your kind feedback. We love to hear that you enjoyed our historical tour across the former Nazi Party Rally Grounds!
