The congresses of the Nazi party were held annually in the month of September and each had a particular motto, which was given according to the historical events of the time. Since Nuremberg was chosen as the venue for the congresses, the work of this complex began, which was on the outskirts of the city and had the Zeppelin Field as the epicenter of the great events. Here stood the tribune from which Hitler delivered his speeches. In the vicinity was located the so-called Coliseum, a pavilion that intended to imitate the Roman building. Due to the beginning of the contest, it was never finalized. Near this place was also the Field of Mars, in which military games were used to exalt the combative spirit and harangue the ranks. The whole space of the propaganda project was connected to a Grand Avenue that led to the different buildings and that should serve for the realization of the great military parades.

Nuremberg was founded in 975 and grew into the second-largest city in medieval Germany. On this private walking tour, I take you through the Old Town where over 1,000 years of history are still visible in the walls, churches, and alleys. We start at the Old Town Hall, walk through medieval lanes and across bridges that are over 500 years old, past Gothic churches among the oldest in Germany, and end at the Imperial Castle with a panoramic view over the entire city. I am a historian based in Nuremberg. Instead of listing facts, I connect each place to the people who shaped it: emperors at the castle, merchants at the market, and Dürer who made this city famous across Europe. I also show you what survived the destruction of 1945 and where the line between original and reconstruction runs today. The tour is private. You set the pace and the focus. At the end, I give you personal recommendations for restaurants, museums, and anything else for your stay.

I'm Kevin and you could say that I'm a cultural interpreter, not a teacher (passing on knowledge) or a sightseeing guide (pointing things out). I lead exploratory walks and unscripted cultural experiences. Information is presented in a way that allows my guests to make their own mental connections because, after all, a tour with just interesting information is infotainment. The most memorable tours are the ones that make people think and feel. For example, to this day, in the southeast corner of Nuremberg, the remains of structures located on the former Nazi Party Rally Grounds impress visitors with their immense proportions and stand as vivid testimony to the megalomania of the National Socialist regime. This area of 4 square miles was intended to be an impressive backdrop for the Nazi party rallies and serve to demonstrate their power not only to Germany but to the entire world. This tour takes place come rain or shine

You arrive alone or with a friend. Ten minutes later you're holding a welcome shot and talking to people from half a dozen countries. That's the idea. Your host plans the night so you don't have to. It starts at the meeting point with welcome shots for everyone, then four venues over about four hours — three bars and a club — with another shot included at every stop. Each place has its own mood, and the night builds: easy at the first one, loud by the last. Your host knows the city and keeps the night running — route, timing, the group. Introductions happen early, and after the first bar the group mixes on its own. Strangers at the first stop, friends by the last. Solo travelers are the rule here, not the exception. Most nights mix travelers, exchange students and a few locals, and everything runs in English and German. The last stop is the club, and your entry is included. Stay as long as you want. Social Night Out — Strangers to Friends.
