The university city of Erlangen with more than 100,000 residents is the smallest Bavarian metropolis.

For a long time, the city of Erlangen was characterised by the settlement of the Huguenots, who made the glove workshops in Erlangen blossom. The economic face of Erlangen has changed since. Today, the Friedrich-Alexander university dominates it together with the various hospitals and large companies such as Siemens and Areva.
They also characterise the cultural face of the city with festivals and concerts in the castle garden.

Those who want to be mobile in Erlangen can use the public transport or bicycles. There are very good reasons why Erlangen has more bicycles than residents.

At 500,000 residents, Nuremberg is the second-largest city of Bavaria. Together with its neighbouring cities of Fürth, Erlangen and Schwabach, it forms the metropolitan region of Nuremberg with 1.2 million people.

Market research, printing, communication technology, energy and high-performance electronics as well as logistics and traffic are among the main economic factors of the city. The international toy trade fair is the highlight of Nuremberg's trade fair year.

The town´s famous sight and center is the imperial castle with its intact 5 km long wall, which circles the historical city and the main market (“Hauptmarkt”), where the world-famous “Christkindlesmarkt” is taking place.

The district-free city of Fürth forms a city triangle with Nuremberg and Erlangen that is the core of the Middle Franconian conurbation.

Fürth has the highest density of building monuments anywhere in Bavaria as compared to the population density.

The city hall, city theatre, lodge house and Berolzheimerianum are just a few of the sights that draw all looks in town, in addition to the idyllic courts and streets from the period of Historicism. Business tenants from near and far gladly make the science city of Fürth the centre of their lives in the metropolitan region.
