Nuremberg - is the second-largest city of Bavaria. The former imperial town Nuremberg was once the "secret" capital of the Holy Roman Empire and the cradle of the German Renaissance.

We had a private tour to Nuremberg with Natalia. She is a top-notch guide who had an excellent knowledge about the history of the Middle Ages and the Third Reich in Germany. There are a lot of medieval masterpieces in the city, but by the end of the walking tour we were impressed by the fountain “Marriage - merry - go-round”. Super!
