Old City, Nuremberg, or as I liked to call it… Euro Disney. It’s so clean and perfect that it doesn’t quite seem real.

Across the lake from the Zeppelintribune is Hitler’s Congress Hall, patterned after the Colosseum in Rome and also designed by Albert Speer. The building was never finished, and today, it’s a museum: The Documentation Center for the Nazi Party Rally Grounds.
