Nuremberg

The bucket-list things to do — and the private, expert-led way to do each.

Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, and the private, small-group, or expert-led way to make it yours — your own pace, real access, none of the crowd.

In port at Nuremberg, the bucket-list move is Private WWII History Tour: Rally Grounds & Courtroom 600. Nuremberg City of Empires Tours runs it — a private, expert-led experience at your own pace, not a 40-person coach. Below: all 6 bucket-list things to do on a Nuremberg port day, each with the independent way to make it yours.
