What a phenomenally shot documentary! Nuremberg has been on my bucket list for a while, but seeing those hidden underground tunnels and the history behind the city walls makes me want to book a trip immediately. The quality of your videos is top-notch, REVDOC. Keep it up!
top job as always
We visited there Dec 2024. My hubby. lived there for two years when he was in the army from 78 to 80. My favorite was the toy museum.
I’ve wanted to go there for a long time, but the closest I’ve been is the Czech border. I love the Meistersinger opera, I love that old magical architecture and I couldn’t care less about seeing the WW2 stuff.
One of these days…
Jedes Mal dasselbe Fehler. NuerNberg.
This is one of the best and most beautiful 10 german Cities!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rather than simply showing a city, this film reveals the many layers hidden beneath its streets, walls, and centuries of history. What fascinated me most is the contrast between Nuremberg’s majestic medieval architecture and the powerful stories preserved within its underground passages. The cinematography turns every tower, gate, and stone corridor into part of a larger narrative, allowing viewers to feel the weight of both imperial glory and historical reflection. It is rare to find a travel documentary that balances visual beauty with such depth of storytelling. By the end, Nuremberg feels less like a destination and more like a living history book brought vividly to life.
