About this activity

Explore Nuremberg's pivotal role in 20th-century history with visits to the Palace of Justice—where Nazi war criminals faced trial (1945–1946)—and the sprawling former Nazi Party Rally Grounds, before sampling three local beers at a traditional Nuremberg brewery. This 4-hour tour combines serious historical education with the city's renowned beer culture.

The Major War Criminals Trial was held 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 worldwide notoriety. From 1946 to 1949, 12 "Subsequent Trials" were held in the same courtroom before exclusively U. S. American military tribunals. .
Still 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.

Then we go to a brewery in the center of Nuremberg, and we will taste 3 different beers
