Stadt(ver)führungen Nuremberg & Fürth

1,000 Tours, One Weekend, Two Cities

When over 500 guided tours take place simultaneously in Nuremberg and Fürth on a September weekend, it's called Stadt(ver)führungen. The format in the Bavarian twin cities is considered Germany's largest tour marathon and has become a firm fixture on the Middle Franconian cultural calendar. With a single weekend ticket for ten euros, doors open that are usually only accessible to business people, club members, or owners – bunkers under the castle, backyards in the southern districts, workshops, collections, industrial sites, and administrative floors.

Multifaceted Program in Nuremberg and Fürth

The tours are led by an unusual mix of well-known personalities, female artists, actresses, clubs, initiatives, associations, and professional female city guides. They all interpret the city from their own perspective: a cabaret artist leads through their childhood neighborhood, a subway employee shows the workshops of the VAG, an industrial architect explains a former major company, a Roma activist speaks about places of remembrance. The topics range from city history and the Nazi past to architecture and industrial culture, and contemporary issues such as migration, climate adaptation, and the creative economy.

Middle Franconia in the Format of a City Festival

The Stadt(ver)führungen are not just a tourist event, but a dense civil society gathering in Nuremberg and Fürth, organized by the City of Nuremberg for years. Each edition is under a guiding theme, interpreted in its own way by the guides – sometimes politically, sometimes poetically, often both. In the Middle Franconia region, the format has long become a brand that ensures full trains in September and presents a different, more personal image of the two cities.
