Hello! I am currently living in Stockholm, and I have received a job offer in Nuremberg. I am almost decided to move again, but I would like to hear opinions about the city from other people. My main interest is mountain biking, and it is very nice in Sweden, but I think that around Nuremberg is pretty good as well, so if anyone has any tips about it I appreciate it as well!

Hi there! I’m born and raised in Nuremberg and I can guarantee you will find lots of beautiful spots for mountain biking. If you are an outdoorsy type, then you will find that you have a playground around you! People tend to be introverted maybe (at least that’s what I hear so often that I should start to believe it myself 😂) but I do like that we are more easy going and do not get overly excited about stuff. Something I tend to think is the same with Swedish people?

Also it is so rich in history!! Come on down 🙂

I am coming then! After googling a little bit, my idea is to move to the north east of the city center. Work will be in the opposite side but my biking commute is my workout+disconnect time so I enjoy it. Is it a good place to move with my family, or should I look into other neighborhoods?

along the Pegnitz/Wöhrder See you'll find a lovely bike path to cross Nurenberg from east to west. Some of the other roads can be a bit hit and miss in regards to cycling, but in general you will be able to find a nice route with a bit of searching.

A propos family friendly neighbourhood: I haven't heard anything bad about the northeast (and nothing of concern about the rest of the city). Rent did rise significantly in the last decade, though.

closest MTB Area I know of would be the "Winterleite" near Kalchreuth.

Perfect. The north east is a very nice place to be, with family especially. The city does work on bike lanes and making the commute with bikes easier, but we are nowhere near where Kopenhagen or cities like that are. What is nice, is that you really do not have to be dependent on your car within the city. The city is well connected via buses and the Metro…Let me know if there is anything else you would like to know!
