The center of Nuremberg is the Beautiful Fountain, currently undergoing renovation. The photo above shows what it usually looks like, the photo below is our group standing in front of the covered fountain.
We walked the old town area in the morning, with part of the group heading up to the castle.
Mike and I went to find a coffee house, as we had not had our fill. I found this sign in the shop.
After lunch we took the World War II tour.
This included the Nazi Party Rally Grounds and the Documentation Center, located in the unfinished Congress Hall. This Hall is based on the Coliseum, and was to be a lasting monument for the Nazis. The center examines the causes, context and consequences of Nazi tyranny. It is definitely worth a visit!
Our guide Ingo took us from the Center over to the Palace of Justice and Courtroom 600, the location of the Nuremberg trials after the war. This tour was our best by far! Ingo was knowledgeable and approachable.
Mark's brother-in-law grew up there. So interesting.
