Nuremberg has no catacombs and never had any. What lies under the old town is a whole storey of city: about 25,000 m² of beer cellars cut into the castle sandstone from 1380 onwards, four levels and up to 20 metres deep, plus medieval water tunnels, Renaissance gun galleries, the town hall prison, the wartime art bunker that kept Dürer's paintings and the Imperial Regalia safe, and two fully equipped nuclear shelters. Everything is guided-only, in groups of 12 to 20, and it is 8 to 10 °C (46 to 50 °F) all year. This page sorts the eight sites by what an English speaker actually gets: four of them run regular tours in English, two are German-only with an English audio app, and every price below was checked in October 2026, in euros and US dollars.

Eight places under Nuremberg, compared
Historic Rock-Cut Cellars (Historische Felsengänge)
The main site and the biggest: the largest rock-cellar labyrinth in southern Germany, dug from 1380 over four levels and up to 20 m (66 ft) down into the castle sandstone for brewing and storing beer, then turned into an air-raid shelter in the Second World War.
About 25,000 m² (269,000 sq ft), around 9 °C (48 °F), some 1.8 million visitors by 2024. Designated a geotope by the Bavarian State Office for the Environment. The tour ends at the Hausbrauerei Altstadthof, which matures its red beer and spirits in part of the cellars again. Run by NKG GmbH, not by the Unterwelten association.
English tour €14 (about $16.04), reduced €11 (about $12.61); German tour €13 (about $14.90), reduced €10 (about $11.46); children up to 6 free; Sunday family ticket €30 (about $34.38)
Historic Art Bunker (Historischer Kunstbunker)
A former beer cellar at Obere Schmiedgasse 52, converted from summer 1940 into a climate-controlled art store up to 24 m (79 ft) below the castle. Dürer's works, Veit Stoss's Angelic Salutation, the Imperial Regalia, Martin Behaim's globe and the Codex Manesse sat out the bombing here.
The exhibition was redesigned and reopened on 1 February 2026. The original heating, ventilation, drainage and emergency power survive. Only 8 °C (46 °F), even in summer. The one underground site with ramps for people with a mild mobility impairment – still not wheelchair-usable.
€12 (about $13.75), reduced €10 (about $11.46), reduced with Nürnberg Card €5, children up to 5 free
Tunnels and Secret Passages under the Castle (Wehr- und Geheimgänge, casemates)
Bomb-proof gun galleries inside the castle bastions built by Antonio Fazuni between 1538 and 1545. Corridors several metres high follow the zigzag of the walls, and the gun ports look straight down into the moat.
Replicas of 16th-century weapons are on show. Resellers sell this tour as being "in the City Wall" – it is in the castle bastions, and the association's separate City Wall tour is a different 90-minute walk starting at the youth hostel.
€12 (about $13.75), reduced €10 (about $11.46)
Medieval Dungeons (Mittelalterliche Lochgefängnisse)
The prison known as the "Loch" (hole) in the vaulted cellar of the Old Town Hall: originally a bread house owned by Heilsbronn Abbey, whose ground floor became a cellar when the ground was raised from 1332. Remand prisoners and the condemned were held here from the 14th century.
Small timber-lined cells, special cells, a torture chamber, the smithy for the shackles and the prison kitchen. Prisoners had to pay for their own board. No toilets.
€10 (about $11.46), reduced €8 (about $9.17); with Nürnberg Card €5 / €4
Nuclear Bunker at the Main Station (Atombunker im Hauptbahnhof)
A Cold War shelter for nuclear, biological and chemical attack directly under the main station, built to hold about 2,400 people – mostly travellers – for up to two weeks.
Original equipment, bunks you can lie on and a simulation of nuclear blast effects. Unlike everything else on this page, it is warm and lit. Meeting point in the Königstorpassage, opposite the railway mission.
€13 (about $14.90), reduced €11 (about $12.61), with Nürnberg Card €6.50
Nuclear Bunker Krebsgasse (Atombunker Krebsgasse)
A two-storey civil-defence bunker beneath ordinary houses in the Lorenz half of the old town, fitted for about 2,000 people for 14 days: eight hours lying, sixteen hours sitting.
Washrooms, kitchen and the large air-filter plant survive. English only for booked private groups.
€12 (about $13.75), reduced €10 (about $11.46)
Medieval Water Conduit (Lochwasserleitung, Wasserstollen)
Tunnels barely 60 cm (2 ft) wide driven into the castle hill to collect clean seepage water; one ran all the way to the town hall cellar. The known galleries add up to about 2 km (1.2 miles), first securely documented in 1459.
In the Second World War the old conduit was tapped again to supply the Art Bunker with water.
€12 (about $13.75), reduced €10 (about $11.46)
Deep Well of the Imperial Castle (Tiefer Brunnen, Kaiserburg)
A shaft driven more than 50 m (164 ft) into the solid rock in the well house of the outer castle, the castle's water supply in a siege.
The depth is shown on every tour with a camera lowered down the shaft. The well house carries the date 1563. Run by the Bavarian Palace Administration; free with the Nürnberg Card.
Deep Well and Sinwell Tower €4 (about $4.58), reduced €3 (about $3.44); castle combination ticket €10 / €9; under 18 free
Underground Nuremberg tickets and prices
Every tour has a fixed start time and a small group, so booking online is the safe route, but only one site insists on it. Historic Rock-Cut Cellars: tickets online or at the brewery shop, Bergstraße 19; the operator's English FAQ says tickets cannot be reserved, only bought, and a cancellation has to be sent in writing as a reply to the booking confirmation. Nürnberger Unterwelten (Art Bunker, casemates, dungeons, bunkers, water conduit) sells online and at four points: the ticket machine at the Art Bunker entrance, Obere Schmiedgasse 52 (daily 9:00–18:00), the ticket shop at Albrecht-Dürer-Straße 35 (daily 10:00–15:00), the museum shop at the Albrecht Dürer House (Tuesday to Sunday 10:00–17:00) and the tourist information at Hauptmarkt 18 (daily 10:00–15:00).

When everything is sold out
Groups are capped at 20 in the rock-cut cellars, the Art Bunker and the bunkers, 16 in the dungeons, 15 in the casemates and 12 in the water conduit. The English departures are the scarce ones: the rock-cut cellars have just two English tours a week.
Tours of underground Nuremberg
Booking direct is cheapest for the rock-cut cellars: €13 (about $14.90) for the German tour and €14 (about $16.04) for the English one at historische-felsengaenge.de, against listings from €16 on resellers, and only the operator gives 50 % off with the Nürnberg Card and €1 off with a same-day transport ticket. For the Art Bunker, the casemates and the dungeons, reseller prices usually match the operator's €10 to €12. A reseller earns its keep when the dungeons' small groups are full on the operator's calendar, or when free cancellation matters to you. Check the description for which tunnel you are buying: the casemates are sold as a "City Wall" tour, and anything advertised as catacombs is the beer-cellar tour.

Underground Nuremberg opening hours and best time
There are no opening hours in the usual sense: every site is entered on a guided tour at a fixed start time. Historic Rock-Cut Cellars: German tours Monday to Friday 11:00–17:00 on the hour, Saturday and Sunday 11:00–17:30; the English tour runs on Saturday and Sunday at 11:10 only; Red Beer tour daily 17:30 (Friday and Saturday also 17:45); Dark Tour Fridays 20:30. Historic Art Bunker: English tours daily at 13:15 and 17:15 according to the city museums; German tours daily at 14:00, with extra tours at weekends (the operator and the city museums publish different weekend times). Tunnels and Secret Passages (casemates): English tours daily at 11:15 and 15:15; German daily at 11:00, 14:30 and 16:00. Medieval Dungeons: English at 16:15, in the main season also 12:15 and 17:15; German hourly 11:00–17:00 (18:00 in the main season). Nuclear Bunker at the Main Station: German only, daily 14:30 on the operator's German page. Nuclear Bunker Krebsgasse: German only, Saturdays 16:30. Medieval Water Conduit: weekends and public holidays only. Imperial Castle with the Deep Well: April to September daily 9:00–18:00, October to March 10:00–16:00, closed 1 January, Shrove Tuesday and 24, 25 and 31 December.
When it is quietest
Season makes no difference underground: 8–10 °C in August and in January. What matters is the calendar. The English tour of the rock-cut cellars runs only on Saturday and Sunday at 11:10, so an English-speaking weekday visitor has to choose between the Art Bunker, the casemates and the dungeons – or take the German tour with the €1 English audio guide, which leaves on the hour. The water conduit is weekend-only, the Krebsgasse bunker Saturday-only and the Dark Tour Friday-only. In Advent, when the Christmas market fills the Hauptmarkt, book the dungeons and the English departures days ahead.
Who it suits
With children
Yes, with age limits. The rock-cut cellars take any age, but under-8s must be with a supervising adult; there is a German-language treasure-hunt tour for 6- to 10-year-olds. The Medieval Dungeons admit no one under 10 – the torture chamber is part of the tour. The Dark Tour starts at 14. At the Imperial Castle, under-14s must be accompanied by an adult, and everyone under 18 gets in free.
Minimum age
Medieval Dungeons 10, Dark Tour 14, none elsewhere. Children up to and including 6 are free in the rock-cut cellars, up to 5 in the Art Bunker, but need a ticket.
Wheelchair
No. The rock-cut cellars describe themselves as not barrier-free, and the association states that none of its underground sites has been adapted for disabled visitors. The Art Bunker is the only partial exception: it has ramps, so people with a mild mobility impairment can manage it, but there are single thresholds up to 15 cm (6 in) and a 70 cm (28 in) passage with a step at the back, and it cannot be used in a wheelchair. Tourism Nuremberg also lists the dungeons as not accessible for wheelchairs.
Pushchair
Not practical anywhere because of the stairs; a baby carrier is the only workable option.
Dogs
Not allowed in the rock-cut cellars or on the Unterwelten tours; assistance dogs of disabled visitors are admitted by the association.
Claustrophobia
Both operators advise people with claustrophobia not to take part. The NKG visitor rules add that the climate below ground can strain the heart and circulation. Nobody walks alone: you stay with the group until the tour ends.
What to wear
A warm jacket and sturdy, non-slip shoes in every month. The rock-cut cellars are 8–10 °C (46–50 °F) with humidity sometimes above 90 %; the city museums warn that the Art Bunker is only 8 °C (46 °F) even in summer. There are no toilets in the dungeons.
Photography
In the rock-cut cellars only with the operator's permission ("Photos and videos only with permission" on the English tour page). Mobile phones must be switched off during the tour; food and drink are banned underground, and anyone visibly drunk is turned away.
Underground Nuremberg: getting there
By public transport
Everything is in or under the walled old town, or in the main station itself. From Nuremberg Airport the U2 takes 12 minutes to the main station (Hauptbahnhof). From there the castle-side sites are a walk through the old town; for the Art Bunker and casemates take tram 4 to Tiergärtnertor, bus 36 to Burgstraße or the U1 to Lorenzkirche and walk uphill. The rock-cut cellars start a few minutes from the Hauptmarkt at Bergstraße 19. The dungeons meet at the Old Town Hall, Rathausplatz 2. The Main Station bunker meets in the Königstorpassage shopping arcade, to the left of the escalators up to the main concourse, opposite the railway mission (Bahnhofsmission).
By car
Parking around the old town is tight. For the castle side, the Hauptmarkt car park (Augustinerstraße 4, 525 spaces) is the obvious choice. For the station bunker the association points to the car park at the station, next to the Cloud One hotel, and warns that it is expensive.
From the nearest city
Not a day-trip question: every site is inside the old town or under the main station, so the whole programme is done on foot from a hotel in the centre.
Tips for your visit
- Plan your weekend around 11:10. The only English tour of the rock-cut cellars runs on Saturday and Sunday at that time; on weekdays take the German tour with the €1 English audio guide, which leaves every hour.
- Two operators, two tills, two websites. The rock-cut cellars (historische-felsengaenge.de) and the Art Bunker, casemates and dungeons (unterwelten-nuernberg.de) are sold separately; there is no combined underground ticket.
- Buy dungeon tickets before you reach the town hall: there is no box office there, and the English group holds only 16.
- A realistic English-language day: casemates at 11:15, Art Bunker at 13:15, dungeons at 16:15 – all three meet within ten minutes' walk of each other, and on a weekend you can start with the rock-cut cellars at 11:10 instead of the casemates.
- If you do two or more tours plus the castle, the Nürnberg Card (€38, about $43.55, for 48 hours) pays for itself: half price underground, free castle, free public transport.
- Bring a real jacket. 8 °C (46 °F) with 90 % humidity feels colder after twenty minutes of standing still, and the Art Bunker is no warmer in August.
- Keep a same-day VGN public transport ticket: it takes €1 off a rock-cut cellars tour at the till.
- The Main Station bunker is German-only; download the free English audio app before you go down, because reception underground is not guaranteed, and allow two hours if you have a train to catch.
Underground Nuremberg: what the internet gets wrong
There are no catacombs under Nuremberg – no burial passages of any kind. The tunnels are beer cellars ordered by the city council on 11 November 1380, later used for pickles and as air-raid shelters. The trip described is the ordinary rock-cut cellars tour with a beer tasting.
The operator runs the German tour every hour on the hour from 11:00 to 17:00 on weekdays, and until 17:30 at weekends.
the operator charges €13 (about $14.90) and €10 (about $11.46), and the free ticket applies up to and including age 6. The same page lists English tours "every Sunday at 11:10 am"; the operator runs them on Saturday and Sunday.
Both long out of date. In October 2026 the German tour is €13 and the English tour €14 (about $16.04).
The operator charges €1 (about $1.15) plus a deposit. The same page gives "More than 20,000 m²", as does discover-bavaria.com; the operator gives around 25,000 m² at its greatest extent.
The Bavarian Palace Administration, which runs the castle, describes the shaft as driven more than 50 metres into the solid rock.
According to the city museums, the building was a bread house owned by Heilsbronn Abbey, and its ground floor only became a cellar when the ground around the new Hauptmarkt was raised from 1332.
the operator's own English page gives 4:15 pm, with 12:15 and 5:15 pm added only in the main season. Book from the operator's calendar, not from the tourist board's list.
The tour goes through the casemates of the castle bastions and starts at the Art Bunker, Obere Schmiedgasse 52. The association's actual City Wall tour is a different, 90-minute walk starting at the youth hostel, Burg 2, and was being revised in 2026.
History in brief
- In 1303 the city council ruled that only barley malt could be used for brewing – the start of Nuremberg's documented beer history.
- On 11 November 1380 a council ordinance required anyone who brewed and sold beer to have their own cellar, "ten shoes deep and sixteen shoes wide". Up to 42 breweries dug down into the sandstone over the following centuries, up to four levels deep.
- From the 14th century the cellar of the town hall served as the city prison; torture was not abolished in Bavaria until 1813.
- The water galleries of the Lochwasserleitung are first securely documented in 1459; between 1538 and 1545 Antonio Fazuni built the castle bastions with their casemates.
- Mechanical refrigeration ended the cellars' purpose in the 19th century; from 1912 the food firm Harrer stored pickles and sauerkraut in them.
- From 1939 Heinrich Kohlhaußen, director of the Germanisches Nationalmuseum, began moving art underground; from summer 1940 the cellar at Obere Schmiedgasse 52 became the climate-controlled Art Bunker. From October 1940 the beer cellars were linked by passages up to 40 m long and given six emergency exits as public air-raid shelters.
- On the night of 2 to 3 January 1945, when the old town was largely destroyed, an estimated 35,000 to 40,000 people sheltered in cellars built for 15,000 to 20,000.
- Structural repairs to the damp sandstone began in 1963; the Art Bunker first opened to the public on 13 January 1996, and its exhibition was redesigned in 2026.
Underground Nuremberg: frequently asked questions
Are there catacombs in Nuremberg?
No. Nothing under Nuremberg was built for the dead. The so-called catacombs are the Historic Rock-Cut Cellars, beer cellars dug from 1380 onwards and later used as air-raid shelters. The tours sold as Nuremberg catacomb tours are tours of these cellars.
Are there underground tours in English in Nuremberg?
Yes, at four sites. The Historic Rock-Cut Cellars run an English tour on Saturday and Sunday at 11:10; the Art Bunker daily at 13:15 and 17:15; Tunnels and Secret Passages daily at 11:15 and 15:15; the Medieval Dungeons at 16:15 (also 12:15 and 17:15 in the main season). The two nuclear bunkers and the water conduit are German-only, with English audio apps for some.
How much does the Nuremberg underground tour cost?
It depends on the site. In October 2026 the rock-cut cellars cost €13 (about $14.90) in German and €14 (about $16.04) in English, the Art Bunker €12 (about $13.75), the dungeons €10 (about $11.46) and the Deep Well with the Sinwell Tower €4 (about $4.58). The Nürnberg Card halves the underground prices.
Do I need to book in advance?
For the Medieval Dungeons, yes: tickets are sold in advance only and not at the town hall. Elsewhere you can buy on the spot – at the brewery shop for the rock-cut cellars, at the ticket machine at Obere Schmiedgasse 52 for the Unterwelten tours – but groups of 12 to 20 fill up, and the English departures are few. The rock-cut cellars do not take reservations, only purchases.
Can I visit the rock-cut cellars without a guide?
No. Because of the size of the labyrinth only trained guides may enter, and the same applies to every underground site in the city, including the castle's Deep Well.
How long does a tour take?
Most last about 60 minutes; the English rock-cut cellars tour 60 to 70. The dungeons take 45 minutes and the Main Station bunker 75. The rock-cut cellars' combined tours with the old town last two hours.
How cold is it underground?
8 to 10 °C (46 to 50 °F) in the rock-cut cellars all year, with humidity sometimes over 90 %, and only 8 °C (46 °F) in the Art Bunker even in summer. Bring a warm jacket in every season. The Main Station bunker is the exception: warm and lit.
Which tour is best if I only have time for one?
For most visitors the Historic Rock-Cut Cellars, which cover brewing, building and the wartime shelters in an hour. If you are in town on a weekday and want a guide speaking English, the Art Bunker at 13:15 is the stronger choice; for medieval history, the dungeons.
Are the tours suitable for children?
Mostly. The rock-cut cellars take any age, with under-8s accompanied. The dungeons admit no one under 10, and the Dark Tour starts at 14. Children up to 6 (rock-cut cellars) or 5 (Art Bunker) go free but need a ticket.
Is underground Nuremberg wheelchair accessible?
No. All sites have stairs and uneven floors. The Art Bunker has ramps for people with mild mobility impairments, but thresholds of up to 15 cm (6 in) and a 70 cm (28 in) passage with a step mean it cannot be used in a wheelchair.
Can I take photos?
In the rock-cut cellars only with the operator's permission, and phones have to be switched off during the tour. Ask your guide at the start rather than assuming.
Is the Art Bunker the same as the rock-cut cellars?
No. Both are old beer cellars in the same sandstone, but the Art Bunker at Obere Schmiedgasse 52 was converted in 1940 for art storage and is run by a different operator, with a different entrance and ticket. Nor is it the contemporary art space "kunstbunker", which is in another bunker elsewhere in the city.
How do I get there without a car?
From the airport, the U2 reaches the main station in 12 minutes. The Main Station bunker is in the station itself; everything else is a walk through the old town, or tram 4 to Tiergärtnertor, bus 36 to Burgstraße or the U1 to Lorenzkirche for the castle side.
Is the Nürnberg Card worth it for the underground?
If you do two tours and the castle, usually yes. At €38 (about $43.55) for 48 hours it halves the underground tours, includes the Imperial Castle and the Deep Well, and covers public transport in zone A. It does not apply to the Dark Tour.
How deep is the Deep Well at Nuremberg Castle?
More than 50 metres (164 feet), according to the Bavarian Palace Administration; figures of 47 metres circulate online. You can only see it on the short guided demonstration, which is included in the €4 (about $4.58) Deep Well and Sinwell Tower ticket.
