You can view the inner courtyard from a visitor platform on the part of the structure that joins the two ends of the horseshoe together. The northern wing of the Congress Hall houses the Documentation Center for the Nazi Party Rally Grounds, where you can visit the Interim Exhibition during open hours.
The texts for the Interim Exhibition are in German and English. You can also explore the "Nuremberg – Site of the Nazi Party Rallies" exhibition with a new audio guide that gives you access to 25 selected listening stations. A smartphone is necessary and we recommend bringing earphones.
