Cities and Regions

With an expanse of more than 70,000 square kilometers, Bavaria is the largest of Germany’s sixteen states. Bavaria’s population is more than 12 million. The state is divided into seven administrative regions. Bavaria’s largest cities are Munich and Nuremberg. Six others have populations greater than 100,000. Bavaria’s rural areas are also highly important to the state, accounting for some 85% of its surface and some 60% (nearly 8 million inhabitants) of its population. Many of these people work for the high-tech, fast-developing companies and innovation-producing institutes found all throughout the state.
