City tour through Nuremberg with the little train – Christmas tour

1.City tour through Nuremberg with the little train – Christmas tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 23 reviews · 40 minutes (approx.) · from $13Our pick

Ride a small Christmas train from Hallplatz around Nuremberg’s old town and the outside of its medieval walls. The 40-minute tour uses recorded English commentary, enclosed carriages, and assigned seats. It gives you a quick city orientation for $13.25, but tight seating, basic narration, and dark winter departures can affect the ride.

“it was so fun to go around the city and get an overall tour. Just love the little train and I think you should do it before you go on any other tour.”
