Coburg: 9 Things to Do and See

Schloss Ehrenburg (Ehrenburg Palace)
Magnificent stately rooms from the 17th-19th centuries behind a neo-Gothic façade. The “Stadtresidenz” (City Residence) of former Coburg dukes would feel just as at home in London as it does here, and it was also a part-time home to Queen Victoria.

The "Coburg Bratwurst"
