- Hall of Honour - The Nazi Party Rally Grounds were located in the southeast of Nuremberg, where the Nazi Party rallies of the NSDAP occurred from 1933 to 1938. The overall design of the site was conceived by Albert Speer in its basic concept and detailed by Walter Brugmann, who also oversaw its implementation. It spans a total area of over 16.5 km².
- Kongresshalle Nurnberg - Documentation Center Nazi Party Rally Grounds. From 1933 to 1938, the National Socialists conducted their Party Rallies in Nuremberg. Today, remnants of massive structures still testify to how this propaganda spectacle was organized and executed.
- Zeppelinfeld - Located east of the Great Road, it features a large grandstand (Zeppelinhaupttribüne) with a width of 360 meters (390 yards) and a smaller stand. It was one of Albert Speer’s initial projects for the Nazi party, inspired by the Pergamon Altar. Its square piers draw inspiration from the work of Franco-American architect Paul Philippe Cret. The grandstand is renowned as the structure from which the swastika was removed in 1945, following Germany’s defeat in World War II. The name “Zeppelinfeld” or “Zeppelinwiese” refers to the landing of Ferdinand Graf von Zeppelin with one of his airships (LZ6) at this site in August 1909.
- Nuremberg Palace of Justice - The Major War Criminals Trial was conducted before the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg from November 20, 1945, to October 1, 1946. As a result of this trial, Courtroom 600 of the Nuremberg Palace of Justice gained global recognition. From 1946 to 1949, 12 “Subsequent Trials” were held in the same courtroom before exclusively U.S. American military tribunals.

Interesting historical tour of Nuremberg - Tour was exactly as described. Rob our guide was excellent. He arrived on time, was very knowledgeable and friendly. He assisted me in the snow as we walked over the grounds and generally speaking was a very good guide. The right amount of time was spent at each area. Overall a nice tour I’d recommend when in Nuremberg.

Good information, but little to be seen. - Although we had an excellent guide, Rob, a Brazilian like us, super excited to pass on the history of the place, we feel that the tour (and, consequently, its cost x benefit) ends up being damaged, since, in most of the places visited, the monuments no longer exist (turned parking) or are "in works", which is why we stay
limited to seeing pictures of what one day was or had there.
The only place still existing and open, although reformed, is room 600, where the tour is self-guided by a telephone provided by the site itself. There, we had enough time to get to know the place.
In short, we spend a lot of time traveling inside the van, and little time in each place itself, precisely because we don't have "what" to see. The time was full of information and curiosity.
An important detail: we booked as "tour in Portuguese"
, but a day before we received the
announced that it would be in English with the possibility of translating what was not understood. This can be a problem for some people, as when booking in a specific language, you expect everything to be in it.

Not forewarned that main site under renovation - The guide, Rob, was very friendly and helpful. Had a good sense of humor and was engaging. Gave a lot of background information.
Very interesting to see the sites. Only 3 stars because one of the two main attractions (Zeppelin) was fully covered in scaffolding. Not much to see there. We felt the tour company could have informed us in advance as we likely would not have booked the tour because of the renovation.
Courtroom 600 was interesting to see, which includes a movie.
Good tour for people who have difficulty walking as sites are quite far from each other, if you have little time in Nuremberg or if you're not a history major. Very convenient to be picked up from the hotel and Rob was on time & prepared.
For others with more time, mobile and history buffs - it'll be a refresher of what you already know but you can do it much cheaper yourself.

Unfortunately the... - Unfortunately the description of the tour itinerary was not what we experienced. Our guide was knowledgeable but not necessarily on topic for the tour title. We did not get the opportunity for free time and entry into the Documentation Centre Museum. After our tour we googled some of the interesting and previously unknown historical facts we had learned from our guide. Again unfortunately they turned out not to be accurate. For the price of two adult tickets we could have used a taxi each way from our hotel to the four places and saved the price of one ticket.
