'''Nuremberg''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|nj|ʊər|ə|m|b|ɜr|ɡ}}, {{respell|NURE|əm|burg}}; {{langx|de|link=no|Nürnberg}} {{IPA|de|ˈnʏʁnbɛʁk||Nürnberg.ogg}}; in the local [[East Franconian]] dialect: ''Nämberch'' {{IPA|de|ˈnɛmbɛrç||generic=yes}}) is the [[Franconia#Towns and cities|largest]] city in [[Franconia]], the [[List of cities in Bavaria by population|second-largest]] city in the [[States of Germany|German state]] of [[Bavaria]], and its 544,414 (2023) inhabitants<ref>{{Cite web |title=Daten und Fakten - Stadtportal Nürnberg |url=https://www.nuernberg.de/internet/stadtportal/daten_und_fakten.html |access-date=2024-07-25 |website=www.nuernberg.de |archive-date=23 July 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170723133920/https://www.nuernberg.de/internet/stadtportal/daten_und_fakten.html |url-status=live }}</ref> make it the [[List of cities in Germany by population|14th-largest city]] in Germany.

Nuremberg sits on the [[Pegnitz (river)|Pegnitz]], which carries the name [[Regnitz]] from its confluence with the [[Rednitz]] in [[Fürth]] onwards ({{pPegnitz}}), and on the [[Rhine–Main–Danube Canal]], that connects the [[North Sea]] to the [[Black Sea]]. Lying in the Bavarian [[Regierungsbezirk|administrative region]] of [[Middle Franconia]], it is the largest city and unofficial capital of the entire cultural region of [[Franconia]]. The city is surrounded on three sides by the {{lang|de|{{ill|Nürnberger Reichswald|de}}}}, a large forest, and in the north lies {{ill|Knoblauchsland|de}} (''garlic land''), an extensive vegetable growing area and cultural landscape.

The city forms a continuous conurbation with the neighbouring cities of [[Fürth]], [[Erlangen]] and [[Schwabach]], which is the heart of an urban area region with around 1.4&nbsp;million inhabitants,<ref>[https://hey.bayern/region/nuernberg Region Nürnberg] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220704125051/https://hey.bayern/region/nuernberg |date=4 July 2022 }} on hey.bayern</ref> while the larger [[Nuremberg Metropolitan Region]] has a population of approximately 3.6 million. It is the largest city in the [[East Franconian]] dialect area (colloquially: "Franconian"; {{langx|de|link=no|Fränkisch}}).

Nuremberg and [[Fürth]] were once connected by the [[Bavarian Ludwig Railway]], the [[List of the first German railways to 1870|first steam-hauled and overall second railway opened in Germany]] (1835). Today, the U1 of the [[Nuremberg U-Bahn]] runs along this route. Subway lines U2 and U3 are the first German driverless subway lines, automatically moving railcars.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.br.de/nachrichten/bayern/vag-15-jahre-automatische-u-bahn-nuernberg-ein-erfolgs-projekt,Th9t7c9|language=de|title=VAG: 15 years of the automatic Nuremberg subway – a successful project|date=2023-06-14|access-date=2024-03-25|archive-date=24 March 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240324073423/https://www.br.de/nachrichten/bayern/vag-15-jahre-automatische-u-bahn-nuernberg-ein-erfolgs-projekt,Th9t7c9|url-status=live}}</ref> [[Nuremberg Airport]] ({{lang|de|Flughafen Nürnberg "Albrecht Dürer"}}) is the second-busiest airport in Bavaria after [[Munich Airport]], and the tenth-busiest airport in the country.
