Coburg
Located in Upper Franconia in northern Bavaria near the Thuringian border, Coburg is a city of European significance. Coburg is dominated by the mighty Veste Coburg, one of Germany's best-preserved castle complexes, where Martin Luther took refuge in 1530. This Franconian residence town has close historical ties to European royal houses – Prince Albert, consort of Queen Victoria, came from the House of Saxe-Coburg. The city's culinary speciality, the Coburg sausage, is a must on any visit.
