City Overview

Nuremberg is the largest city in northern Bavaria and a historic city — famed for its medieval walls, the Imperial Castle and a rebuilt old town, with a Christmas market (one of Germany’s most famous) renowned worldwide. Manufacturing, electronics, toys and trade fairs thrive, with industrial firms like Siemens clustered nearby. Living and housing costs are below Munich with strong value, deep culture and safety — the industry, trade-fair and cultural center of the Franconia region of southern Germany.
