Traveler reviews
Chris Perry
★★★★★Edited 9 months agoA very somber place where the Nazis had rallies in Nürnberg. Unfortunately, there is only a very informative exhibit as they are refurbishing the place. We would have loved to have been able to enter the inside.
Roman
★★★★★7 months agoThe congress hall is a significant concrete structure from the Nazi era. It features large and imposing architecture with open spaces to walk around. Interesting for history and design.
