Nuremberg attracts a surge of history aficionados owing to its remarkable past. The Lady Nightwatchman tour gives you a detailed as well as dramatic look into those times. The tour starts at the Schöner Brunnen and your guide is a conspicuous lady dressed in a cloak with a winding horn fastened at her waist. She begins narrating interesting stories from Nuremberg's past and infuses energy into the the group through her humor. As the lady nightwatchman walks around gripping a halberd in one hand and an archaic lantern in another, never breaking character, you realize how authentic the tour is and that it's presented with utmost passion.

You'd be forgiven for thinking that you have stepped into the past when you walk down the Weißgerbergasse (Leather Craftsmen's Lane). This charming little cobbled lane is home to a row of 22 former artisans' houses, which are made of stone and decorated by timber beams. Be sure to have a more detailed look at the individual houses, for their exterior hides a host of treasures that are lost in the overall picture. Number 25, for example, has a picturesque protruding bay window. Today, the Weißgerbergasse houses several restaurants, bars and independent shops apart from the houses.

The St. Lawrence's Church can be seen even from afar. Its twin towers and the beautiful rosette that decorates its exterior is unmistakable. Dating back to 1477, the church survived the Second World War in a better state than its sister, St. Seebald ( St.-Sebaldus-Kirche), but the main part of the structure was destroyed. The priceless works of art in the church had all been moved elsewhere for safekeeping. There are many stunning features to be admired in the interiors but the Engelsgruss (Angel's Greeting) is perhaps the most famous work of art in the church. It was carved out of wood by Veit Stoss between 1516 and 1520 and is his principal work. Another well-known part of the church's interior is the tabernacle made by Adam Kraft. The tabernacle is 20 meters (65.61 feet) high and at its foot kneels a pious Kraft, holding the tools of his trade. The square in front of the church is full of life during the day.
