You get a sense of what the place looked like when it was constructed as a rally ground, if only to admire the sheer size and reflect on the events that took place here. The main podium area still stands, and is accessible, and, from the grounds you can see how small the figures are when they stand there. Go to reflect and learn but not to glorify.

This was a very impactful experience. If one is interested in WW II history this is a must see. There is an associated (free) walking tour, with explanatory signs in both German and English. The walk takes about one hour to complete, however, be aware that the directional signage for the walk can be hard to follow in some places, especially since there is also a nature trail with a similar numbering system but that goes in the opposite direction (and the wording is not in English). If there are any tour groups you may want to keep any eye on what direction they are going. Also, highly recommend visiting the Documentation Center.

Visit the location of the famous rallies of the National Socialist Party that were designed by Albert Speer during the 1930’s. This is the location where the large rallies that you see in the films occurred. The scale and the layout are imposing when you think about what occurred here. Great stop for any WWII fans. From the entrance there is a nice view with reflection across the lake to the unfinished Congress Hall. Best with a guide.

This was interesting to see and it’s as the pictures show. I think I was disappointed with the amount of information that was presented. There was only a few sign posts and most of them were on the restorative work and future plans for the area rather than the history. They were also up top on the grand stand. I understand that the area is used for car races and other activities so they need to be out of the way but we had to go up separately cause we couldn’t take the pram (obviously) it would have been nice to walk down bottom and read the information. It is an easy walk from the train station.
