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!

You will like the beer and fränkische Schweiz is awesome for biking. Coming from Rheinland people are a bit introverted though.
That's probably what I am used to, Swedes are very nice people but it takes years for them to open up, and so far I have mostly managed to become real friends with those who have been exposed to the expat community. In any case, I assume learning German is going to be an important step to socialize fully.
yeah Nürnberg doesn't have an established university and shares the major one from Erlangen, because of this you will find probably more English speaking people in Erlangen. But subcultures don't align general rules.
Note that they're introverted compared to a Rheinländer. They're still way more open and outgoing than e.g. Northerners. It's just that Rheinländer are the most extroverted Germans.
