Coburg – Holidays in Franconia

Coburg brings together “so much culture in such a small space”, is “steeped in history” and at the same time a true meeting place for creatives. This town of 41,000 residents in northern Upper Franconia is as inspiring as its culinary specialities: history and vision, quiet elegance and a lively zest for life come together to create a distinctive urban atmosphere. Defining features of Coburg are the warm hospitality of its people and their passion for a piece of regional culinary heritage – the famous Coburg bratwurst.

Idyllically set like a jewel in the landscape, Coburg combines a high quality of life with economic strength. For centuries, the town served as the residence of the Dukes of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, whose European legacy remains visible today in Callenberg Castle, Ehrenburg Palace and Rosenau Palace, as well as in the majestic Veste Coburg. Museums and art collections – ranging from historic Hedwig glass to contemporary glass art – further enhance this cultural splendour. At the same time, the internationally oriented university acts as a creative driving force, lending the town a youthful, open and inspiring flair.
