Day 1
Gentle-paced guided tour with short transfers, frequent seating and accessible routes. Total duration ~4 hours. Example start time: 09:00 — 13:00 (adjustable to your confirmed booking time).
Meet & Pickup — Central meeting at Nürnberg Hauptbahnhof (or hotel pickup if prearranged)
Your guide and driver will meet you at a prearranged spot. If you requested hotel pickup, the vehicle will collect you there instead. Short welcome, assistance with any mobility aids, and a briefing on the day's plan.
Tips from local experts:
- If you requested hotel pickup, confirm the exact entrance when booking — many hotels have step-free main entrances for easy boarding.
- Nürnberg Hauptbahnhof has elevators and accessible toilets; ask the guide to show you the nearest facilities before departure.
- May in Nuremberg is mild — bring a light layer; the vehicle will be climate-controlled for comfort.
Documentation Center (Dokumentationszentrum Reichsparteitagsgelände) — accessible exhibition
Guided visit to the Documentation Center museum — a structured exhibition presenting the history of the Nazi Party Rallies and the wider National Socialist era. The educational forum provides benches, ramps and elevators for step-free access.
Tips from local experts:
- The Documentation Center has ramps, elevators and wheelchair loan on request — tell your guide in advance if you need assistance.
- Audio-guides and seating areas are available throughout the exhibition; plan a relaxed 50-minute visit to avoid rushing between rooms.
- Spring (May) is a good time to visit the outdoor information panels around the site — bring comfortable shoes and a light jacket in case of breeze.
Short transfer to Zeppelinfeld (Zeppelinwiese)
Brief drive with the guide to the adjacent Zeppelinfeld parade ground. Short, mostly level walk to the viewing area; benches and open space available.
Tips from local experts:
- The transfer is short; remain seated if you prefer — the guide will offer assistance onto flat viewing areas.
- There are shaded benches near the grandstand; the guide can escort you to the closest accessible viewpoint.
- Avoid standing on uneven grass; ask to remain on paved paths which are generally wheelchair- and walker-friendly.
Zeppelinfeld viewing & short guided talk
Guided short stop at the Zeppelinfeld to view the massive grandstand and learn about Albert Speer's parade-ground design. Comfortable pace with benches nearby for resting.
Tips from local experts:
- The site is open-air — in May you’ll often get pleasant sun; bring sunglasses and a hat for comfort while seated.
- Benches and paved viewing spots are near the grandstand; remain on paved areas if mobility is a concern.
- Photographs are fine from the viewing points; your guide can position you for the easiest walk and best view.
Transfer to Nuremberg Palace of Justice (Justizpalast) — exterior & historical overview
Short drive to the Palace of Justice for an exterior visit and guided narrative about Courtroom 600 and the Nuremberg Trials. Note: courtroom access can be limited and the Palace is closed on Tuesdays — the guide will adapt the plan as needed.
Tips from local experts:
- If your visit falls on a Tuesday the guide will replace the interior visit with an expanded exterior walk and photo stop — please confirm your booking day.
- The Palace grounds and main court entrance are step-free; request assistance at gates if needed for quicker access.
- There are public benches nearby and accessible restrooms in the courthouse complex — your guide can point them out before you approach the building.
Courtroom 600 overview & historical briefing (exterior/entry depending on opening)
Short guided stop focused on the history of the Nuremberg Trials. If indoor access is available and prearranged, a brief, assisted entry is possible; otherwise the guide will provide a thorough exterior history at a seated spot.
Tips from local experts:
- Indoor access to Courtroom 600 may require advance permission — if you need step-free entrance, notify the operator before your tour.
- The courthouse uses elevators; if you prefer to avoid stairs, ask your guide to arrange the most accessible route.
- Keep this stop relaxed — benches outside the Palace are shaded and good for a short rest while the guide gives the account.
Drive back to city centre for beer tasting
Short comfortable transfer into the Old Town area to a local house-brewery for a seated tasting of three traditional beers. Vehicle will drop you close to the entrance.
Tips from local experts:
- The transfer is by private vehicle to keep walking minimal — request a drop-off right at the entrance if you prefer the shortest walk.
- If you use a walker or wheelchair, let the guide know so they can choose the most accessible entry to the brewery.
- May can bring pleasant outdoor seating weather, but we'll reserve a quiet indoor table so you have guaranteed seating and restroom access.
Seated beer tasting — 3 local beers and light commentary
Enjoy a relaxed seated tasting of three different local Nuremberg beers (small sample pours) accompanied by your guide's explanations of brewing traditions. Non-alcoholic options and water provided on request.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask for smaller sample pours if you prefer — the brewery is used to accommodating guests who want a gentle tasting pace.
- Bathrooms are on-site; confirm step-free access or a ground-floor table when you arrive for easiest movement.
- If you prefer a snack with your tasting, the brewery can recommend light, senior-friendly bites — request low-salt options if needed.
Return transfer & drop-off (Nürnberg Hauptbahnhof or hotel)
Short drive back to your pick-up point (central station or prearranged hotel). The driver will assist with luggage, steps and mobility aids as needed.
Tips from local experts:
- If you need assistance into a taxi or train, ask your guide to wait until you're comfortably settled before they leave.
- Nürnberg Hauptbahnhof is step-free to many platforms; the guide can direct you to the elevator for onward travel.
- If you arranged hotel drop-off, confirm the best entrance in advance so the driver can stop as close as possible.
