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 English-speaking, 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. Note: this tour has a hilly terrain and may not be suitable for all fitness levels.

Excellent Ghost Tour!
I booked this tour for my mother and I while we were visiting Nuremberg. The tour guide, Katrina was amazing and very knowledgeable! Very enthusiastic about the subject and kept you engaged, even with a bit of humor. She also provided a great restaurant recommendation at the end. If you are visiting Nuremberg and want an excellent tour and a good time, I highly recommend 👻

Disappointing execution of what could have been a good tour
The idea of the tour was interesting but the guide was dry and not very attentive to guests. I was traveling with my mom who doesn't walk very fast. I tried to go between the group and my mom to help her keep up but they ended up losing us. She just charged ahead with no regard if the group was with her.
Response from the operator: Veronika, none of this is true. You and your mother were walking slowly, yes. The guide (and the rest of the group) waited for you at every single stop before beginning the stories. Not that it mattered, since you and your mother would walk away to take photos or sit on a bench - which I'm sure irritated the other guests who had to wait on you, only for you to then choose not to pay attention. Your lack of attention is also likely the reason you got lost. Unfortunately, our guests are adults and can choose to leave the tour early. It is not the job of the guide to form a search party, especially not for two woman who were not even participating the entire tour. The fact that you attempt to attack the personality of the guide tells me everything I need to know about you. So here's our personal assessment of you - you're entitled and lack self-awareness. The guide executed the tour perfectly. Sounds like you were expecting her to carry you on her back or hold your hand. Bye, Veronika.

Walking tour with creepy history
A great walking tour with ghost-related history! Our guide was engaging and clearly passionate which made it easy to pay attention and learn about the history of these places. The only thing that would have made the tour better was having it at night -- it was still very bright during our tour time.
Response from the operator: Thanks so much for this lovely feedback! Your review helps us to grow so we can offer more starting times. Cheers! We hope to see you again soon! :)

+
Around 22 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Nuremberg can sell out a month out.

What should I bring or wear?

+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Nuremberg?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
