About this tour
This session covers the Handwerkerhof, a reconstructed medieval craftsmen's courtyard near the station. You see the courtyard itself and one working workshop still using tools and techniques largely unchanged over centuries. It is a close look at traditional trades kept alive in a modern setting.
I move at an easy pace between the courtyard and the workshops, explaining each trade as we go. Questions are welcome throughout, and I send a short note afterwards on the craftspeople we saw.
This suits anyone curious about traditional crafts rather than only monuments. It also pairs well with the grill session for a fuller taste of the same courtyard.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included

Welcome and sound check 5 min
The guide joins the video call, checks the picture and sound with you, and gives you a quick sense of Nuremberg before heading out.

You see a reconstructed medieval courtyard by the station, and I explain how it was rebuilt to house traditional trades close to the old town.
-

From outside one small workshop, I point out tools and techniques largely unchanged from centuries ago.
-
Your questions 7 min
Time to ask anything about Nuremberg: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 3 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Blaue Zipfel and Gostenhof, worth a slower look.
Good to know
- A stable wifi or mobile connection makes the picture smoother than a shaky one.
- Any phone, tablet or laptop with a camera works. You watch, the guide does the walking.
- Times are shown in Berlin time, so check the time where you are before you book.
- The session is not recorded, and recording it yourself is not allowed. Feel free to take your own notes.
- Ask questions any time, out loud or in the chat. The guide will pause to answer.
- Sessions run in small groups, up to 10 people, so there is room for everyone to ask something.

How it works

- Join from any device: phone, tablet or laptop.
- We connect through Google Meet and I send the link after booking. I keep the camera close on the fire and the meat, since the smell and the smoke are half the point.
