Mittelalterliche Lochgefängnisse

Thank you so much to Leena for a wonderful tour and accommodating our situation. We really appreciated your help and fantastic tour. Recommend being super early to the meeting point to make sure you’re in the right spot, as guides take off quickly without making sure ticket holders are present.

Our guide, Alex, was witty and knowledgeable. Willing to pause to answer any and all historical questions. Well worth the stop.

A fascinating tour of the dungeons under the Rathaus in Nuremberg. We found the English speaking tour excellent with our guide's English really good and an appropriate sense of humour. There are a fair amount of stairs as the tour goes underground. Book ahead - the maximum is 20 for each tour and don't be late - the tour starts at the time stated. It is suitable for all ages and there's no people jumping out and going boo!

Booked the English tour at 16:15 on a Sunday. As others mention, I recommend getting the tickets online on the 'website' shown in Google maps. Our tour guide Sandy definitely elevated the experience quite a lot with her humour. 12/10 tour guide. If I was the mayor of the city, I would give her a medal.

I recommend purchasing your ticket online as it is impossible to buy it on the spot. Although there is a qr code that you can scan at the meeting point (on a small plaque on the wall of the old city hall, very inconspicuous), each tour is limited to 20 people so advance booking is still the best option. There is only one English guided tour at 18.00. If you end up in a German guided tour and don't understand much German, tell your guide at the beginning - - they will give you an audio guide. It doesn't give as much as information as the guide themselves, but at least you won't be completely lost. The tour takes about 50 minutes during which one goes through a series of dungeon chambers with the guide. It is a very cool place; one can learn quite some history down there.

Had really fun there, history is quite amazing and well explained by the tour guides, had enough time to see everything and ask questions about each part of the tour.

Interesting visit to Nuremberg's medieval dungeons! It is a short guided tour. Guide had an amazing sense of humour. The dungeons were well-preserved as they were underground. Buy your tickets online - you can find the QR code right outside the rathaus main door. The guide picks you up at the same spot too (not inside the rathaus). Highly recommended for a different experience from the highly manicured, beautiful town of Nuremberg. There are some slightly steep stairways, ceilings were low so this might not be suitable for someone with bad knees.

Interesting tour, not a lot to see but you do go in the original cells, tunnels and torture chamber. Very good tour guide.

Interesting tour - as other reviews say it was in German but there are English pamphlets available. Be sure to ask for them BEFORE the tour though, I had to translate what I could for my travel companion. The tour is maybe 15 min long and in a prime location near the castle and behind St Sebald Church. The history of the prison is very interesting and well worth 3,50 euro. For students, it is 1,50 euro with ID.
