Fürth

A Bavarian city that grew up alongside Nuremberg and now sits so close to it that the two form one continuous urban area, though Fürth has kept a separate identity and its own well-preserved old town. Its economy leans on the same metalworking and electronics base as its larger neighbour, with a growing service sector of its own.
