About this experience
My popular "Nuremberg WW2 Combo tour", covering the "Rally Grounds" to "Room 600", is a great way to learn about not only the immense proportions of the "former nazi party rally grounds" and the megalomania of the National Socialist regime but also about the "Nuremberg Trials" which was the forum for what is often referred to as "The Trial of the Century". It's a really great way to round out your Nuremberg WW2 knowledge.
What you'll see
During this tour, we will start by visiting the "Luitpold Arena" site, the "Congress Hall", "The Great Street", and the "Zeppelin Field". Afterward we will drive over to the "Justice Palace", where "Room 600" is located, and learn about the first serious attempt to adjudicate State leaders accused of war crimes.
