Guided tour to Nuremberg´s defensive corridors and secret passages

4.3/5
6 reviews

Join this guided tour and discover Nuremberg´s defensive corridors and secret passages under the castle!

In the sixteenth century, the city built modern bastions that could withstand cannon fire. A labyrinth of defensive corridors was built underground to enable defenders to shoot at enemies from all sides as they tried to cross the moat. Thanks to those impregnable fortifications, Nuremberg was never conquered.

Follow your guide and explore the narrow tunnels and high vaulted chambers which are dug into the castle rock. They were designed to make Nuremberg the best-protected city in the empire.

    Unser Guide war ein hervorragender Erzähler, man lebte gleich in diese Zeit zurückversetzt! Hat alle miteinbezogen, erzählt es spannend und nicht gefeiert, man hägt von Anfang bis Ende bei ihm an den Lippen, da er es so spannend gemacht hat. Er konnte alle Fragen die gestellt wurden beantworten! Ist zum Weiteeempfehlen, immer wieder gerne....

    Es hat uns als Familie sehr gut gefallen! Für die Kinder 7+10 war es spannend und unterhaltsam! Wir waren eher 1,5 Std als 1 Std unterwegs aber jede Minute hat sich gelohnt! Empfehlenswert
