Metallic nanotips are model systems to study nanometre and femtosecond electron dynamics and provide the possibility for ultrafast electron microscopy. Evidence of strong-field phenomena has been observed by one-colour photoemission of electrons from metallic nanotips [1-3], while two-colour photoemission has established the existence of surface states on metallic films [4]. Here, we report femtosecond two-colour photoemission of electrons from a gold nanotip. We observe long-lived wave packets of Rydberg electrons bound to their own image potential. These intermediate bound states facilitate above-threshold ionization similar to atomic systems and give access to a cold, ultrafast, nanolocalized electron source. [1] Krüger, M. et al.
