Additional Information

Discover the darker side of Nuremberg on this small-group evening walking tour (in English). With its bloody medieval history, Nuremberg has no shortage of gruesome tales of torture, murder, execution, and death. As the Ghosts and Gallows title suggests, once the executioner’s job is done, sometimes something remains.

Your professional paranormal guide will lead you through the darkening streets of the Old Town; sharing tales of haunted places, ghastly rituals, medieval torture, the shadows of the Third Reich, and even aliens from outer space. As night falls, we guarantee that you’ll never look at Nuremberg the same way again.

Location

Hauptmarkt
Your guide will meet you by the golden Schoener Brunnen (Beautiful Fountain) in the Hauptmarkt. The guide will be holding a small sign.

Wonderful tour - Fantastic experience! Katrina was very knowledgeable and had done lots of research. I could tell she was very passionate about the supernatural history of Nuremberg. Would 10/10 recommend and I would go again.

Nuremberg spooky tour into a of lost souls and other strange happenings - A truly amazing, unforgettable experience. The Nuremberg Ghosts and Gallows tour was one of the things that my family and I were looking forward on our trip to Nuremberg and it didn't disappoint. Our tour guide was witty, knowledgeable and ecstatic to share the many 'haunted spots around Nuremberg. Each haunted spot she took us too she would talk a little about it's history, how it became haunted, as well as the many bizarre occurrences that the people in Nuremberg convinced happened to them and their little town. Because there are so many haunting happenings in Nuremberg, the tour involves a lot of walking to places all over the city, so be prepared, especially in the summer where it can tend to get a little hot, even during the evening or night. The entire experience though it totally worth, whether you're a lover of history or the supernatural, there is something on this tour for people that fall into both camps. It is a truly 'must see event in Nuremberg and one in which you may view the city a little differently after the tour

Mal etwas anderes - The tour took us through a large part of the city with different stories. Our tour guide gave us a whole new perspective on the most diverse buildings and statues. Highly recommended if you want a change to the usual tours.

Ghost tour with the mostest - We had such a lovely time exploring Nuremberg! We learned so much about the city and had a blast hearing stories about the ghosties and ghouls. Was definitely exhausted climbing up the hill to the castle but the views and stories were worth it! I highly recommend it for any visitor!

More than just a ghost tour :) - We really enjoyed our tour with Katrina! We walked around most of Nuremberg city and heard interesting stories about goings on/ alleged ghosts. The tour was more than a ghost tour. There were plenty of interesting historical stories too which made it more varied and enjoyable. Kat’s English was impeccable which also helped. My 16 year old daughter says it was her favourite tour so far. Thank you :)

A must-book tour in Nürnberg! - We had a wonderful time on the ghost tour! Katrina was a wonderful tour and host, so friendly and welcoming, she treated all her guests like old friends! Although we’d done a number of tours already, we learned so much more from Katrina’s tour - it was the best one we did. I bought the tour as a birthday present for my 70 year old mother, and Katrina was very considerate, directing us to refreshments as we needed them as it was a very hot evening. Was sad when it came to an end! Thank you so much for a lovely evening!
