Hello! I am currently living in Stockholm, and I have received a job offer in Nuremberg. I am almost decided to move again, but I would like to hear opinions about the city from other people. My main interest is mountain biking, and it is very nice in Sweden, but I think that around Nuremberg is pretty good as well, so if anyone has any tips about it I appreciate it as well!

Hi there! I’m born and raised in Nuremberg and I can guarantee you will find lots of beautiful spots for mountain biking. If you are an outdoorsy type, then you will find that you have a playground around you! People tend to be introverted maybe (at least that’s what I hear so often that I should start to believe it myself 😂) but I do like that we are more easy going and do not get overly excited about stuff. Something I tend to think is the same with Swedish people?
Also it is so rich in history!! Come on down 🙂
I am coming then! After googling a little bit, my idea is to move to the north east of the city center. Work will be in the opposite side but my biking commute is my workout+disconnect time so I enjoy it. Is it a good place to move with my family, or should I look into other neighborhoods?
along the Pegnitz/Wöhrder See you'll find a lovely bike path to cross Nurenberg from east to west. Some of the other roads can be a bit hit and miss in regards to cycling, but in general you will be able to find a nice route with a bit of searching.
A propos family friendly neighbourhood: I haven't heard anything bad about the northeast (and nothing of concern about the rest of the city). Rent did rise significantly in the last decade, though.
closest MTB Area I know of would be the "Winterleite" near Kalchreuth.
