The Nazis chose Nuremberg to be the site of the Nazi Party Rallies. The still unfinished Congress Hall on the former Nazi Party Rally Grounds now houses the Documentation Center. The 1,300 square meter "Fascination and Terror" exhibition examines the causes, context and consequences of Nazi tyranny. The museum focuses on the history of the Nazi party rallies, which served as powerful mass events to promote Nazi propaganda and set the stage for the "people's community". The educational forum offers numerous programs for all age groups on a variety of topics. Information boards on the Nazi Party Rally Grounds, which cover 4 square kilometers, explain the history of the site.

The crowning jewel for history lovers
Maybe I am bias because I love history so much, but this was hands down the best place I've ever visited in terms of learning. The museum is all about the rise and the fall of the Nazi party, and it is evident that a lot of hard work and dedication has gone into making this one of the best places to visit to learn more about this terrible time in human history. It should not be skipped. Upon entry, which is more than good value for the quality experience (I think we paid €15 each?), you are given an audio guide by the super friendly and helpful staff. Numerous languages available. You then follow the audio guide around the site. If you are staying in Nuremberg I'd recommend setting aside at least half a day for this visit. We spent over 4 hours walking around the exhibitions, reading all the information and slowly processing just how awful Hitler's time in power was. I still felt I didn't get chance to see everything due to time, so I'd come back in a heartbeat. Make sure you explore the grounds around the site. A truly fantastic day out and well done to all those who worked to put this exhibition together. "Never again."

A history of the past
I was there on a Saturday. It opened at 1100am allowing around 20 people in at a time. I thought it would be more walking around outside but it was more viewing areas throughout the interior. They have hand held speakers to use for each area which was nice. Not really a place for small children.
