Coburg is a culturally rich city joining history and modernity to a unique city image.
For a long time, Coburg was the manor of the Dukes of Sachsen-Coburg and Gotha and served as a place to meet European aristocracy.

The Fortress Coburg, called as Franconian Crown, rises 150 meters over the city and provides its visitors magnificent view over Coburg and its surroundings reaching to the Thuringian Forest. Even in the Thirty Years' War, the Fortress was never destroyed.
