For over 50 years I have known about the Nazi trials for war crimes. See pictures and videos, read books on the results and atrocities they inflicted on millions of helpless people. Seeing the place that they were convicted and most of them hanged. Gave closure to me. Very well done! More

The Justizpalast is a 10 minute U-Bahn ride from the Hauptbahnhof (Main Tain Station) and a pleasant 5 minute walk after that . It sits in what is now a residential neighborhood and a sign points you in the right direction. When you arrive you pay a small entrance fee and can take the elevator or stairs to the main... More

Hard to say that visiting this museum is fun, since the subject is so.....depressing, however the exhibits are all very interesting and the hand held translators (in my case English) worked great, really enhanced the self paced, self guided tour. The visit to courtroom 600 was truly chilling to me, I really didn't know if would effect me so much... More

Now that they've opened the Museum in the Palace of Justice - you don't have to just hope that you can get in. The excellent audio-guide tour perfectly complimented both the court-room (in excellent condition). The museum is perfect - and offers the right amount of detail on the trials - as well as unexpectedly good things - such as... More

This is well worth visiting, both to see the room where the Nürnberg trials were held, and also to learn about the trials (and war crimes more generally) in the small yet informative exhibition. More

This was so fascinating. To actually be able to see the REAL thing. To see the actual bench that these evil people sat on. To see the room where they were in. Seeing and being able to touch history was unbelievable. We went on a German national holiday , so we were able to go into the courtroom. Try to... More

Being a history buff, the Palace of Justice was on my list of to do things. Easily accessible by the underground, I was very exited. We used the Nuremberg card & entry was fast. Unfortunately, court 600 was in session and we couldn't see it which was very dissapointing, but the exhibition on the top floor did make up for... More

A must see, if you can arrange a tour. To sit in the room where the Nuremberg War Crimes trials took place is a moving experience. Admission is limited, so check into it first. Still used as a court room, seeing a trial there is amazing for a lawyer or history fan. More
