An audio walk through Nuremberg: from the King's Gate through the Craftsmen's Courtyard to St. Lawrence's, across the Pegnitz to the Holy Spirit Hospital and the Meat Bridge, onto the Main Market with the Beautiful Fountain and its mechanical clock, past the Old Town Hall up to the Imperial Castle, then on to Dürer's House, St. Sebald's and a finale at the sausage grill. Find out why a sculptor knelt beneath his own masterpiece, why Peter Henlein's signatures were forged, how Dürer drew a rhino he never saw, and why Eppelein's horse would have needed eight legs. About 2.8 km, roughly 90 minutes. With scenes from Nuremberg legends, honest city history and up-to-date 2026 information.
