You step out of a U‑bahn and the Old Town greets you with medieval stone and the steady murmur of the Pegnitz River, which threads the city like a cool, patient guide. Cobblestones rise toward the Imperial Castle, whose towers still seem to measure the sky. This is a walking tour that moves between eras: half‑timbered lanes and craftsmen’s shops one moment, the monumental spaces of 20th‑century propaganda the next.
