- the birthplace of Albrecht Dürer, the famous painter and contemporary of Martin Luther;
- the place where the annual conventions of the Nazi movement, called Reichsparteitage were held and where the Nazi leaders were put on trial and sentenced after the end of World War II;
- a city that prides itself nowadays on being the City of Human Rights and that engages in many activities promoting the idea of Human Rights;
- a city with the skyline of its impressive world-famous medieval castle called the Kaiserburg, the Emperors’ castle;
- a hospitable city with vast traditional and en-vogue gastronomy, famous beers and ambitious cuisine.
