About this audio guide
This guide to the Neutor in Nuremberg stands you at the city's old northwestern gate, where the road to Fürth, Würzburg and Frankfurt once carried long-distance trade past the customs men. It follows the rule of the evening bell, the three council leaders who carried silver passes, and the raiding margrave of the fifteen-fifties. Best heard beneath the round tower, looking up at its stone shell.
