I took this guided tour to learn more about the history of this beautiful city. The tour starts at the Handwerkerhof hamlet and continues to the city center via the Konig Strasse making several stops where the guide explained the various historical events that marked the development of the city from its founding until after World War II. The Old Town tour ends at the Kaiserbug after which there is a short lunch break before taking the bus to the Nazi Party rally grounds. Here the historical context of the years that saw the rise of National Socialism is described and especially the various motivations that led to the building of this immense area right on the outskirts of the city.
I highly recommend this tour to anyone who really wants to learn about the city and its historical backgrounds. Without a guide it would be difficult to learn in such a short time about so many aspects and to be able to appreciate the historical and cultural richness of the city.
