Arrival, registration and tour program.

14:00–15:30 · Tour 1:      The Imperial Castle    

Registration required, Cost 15 €, Email registration latest 15th of Sept. 2026 required.  Send email to Norbert.Grass@intelec2026.org to register
The guided tour provides insight into the architectural and cultural history of the impressive city wall and the extensive castle complex. The Imperial Castle stands as a stone testament to medieval power – emperors and kings resided here during their visits. Seamlessly integrated into the city’s fortifications, the castle’s towers, battlements, and spacious bastions served not only for protection but also for representative purposes. It provided a backdrop for baroque firework displays and once housed an internationally renowned observatory.
Meeting point: 14:00 ;ain market (Hauptmarkt), Beautiful fountain (Schöner Brunnen), Google data:

14:00–15:30 · Tour 2:      Experience Nuremberg – General Old Town Tour
Registration required, Cost 15 €, Email registration latest 15th of Sept. 2026 required.  Send email to Norbert.Grass@intelec2026.org to register
Nuremberg was once an imperial residence, a powerful free imperial city, and an international economic center. The city’s wealth laid the foundation for a flourishing cultural, artistic, and intellectual life. To this day, numerous buildings, monuments, and works of art bear witness to this remarkable past.
During this walking tour through the Old Town, you will hear fascinating and entertaining facts about the castle and fountains, churches and art, as well as the history and present of the city.
As part of the tour, visitors will explore the historical Imperial Apartments in the Palas as well as the Romanesque double chapel. The Sinwell Tower, the Deep Well, and the Imperial Castle Museum are not included in the guided tour, but can be explored individually afterwards with your ticket.

Unfortunately, the tour had to be cancelled. You're invited to attend the imperial castle tour instead.
