Experience Bamberg – between world heritage, river landscape, and brewing culture
Bamberg is multifaceted, and that is precisely what makes this city in Franconia so appealing. Cobblestone streets, magnificent churches, and half-timbered houses characterize the old town, which has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1993. Bamberg Cathedral, the impressive Old Town Hall, and the baroque New Residence with its rose garden are just a few of the places that give this city its special charm.
At the same time, Bamberg is surrounded by natural scenery that is perfect for cyclists and hikers. Cycle paths along the Regnitz river lead directly to Franconian Switzerland, where castles, rocks, and caves invite you to explore. Whether you prefer a leisurely stroll through Little Venice or a sporty trip into the surrounding countryside, Bamberg is a wonderful place where culture and landscape come together.
Added to this is the Franconian way of life: you can sample the famous Rauchbier in rustic breweries, while concerts by the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra provide unforgettable cultural moments. Whether it's enjoyment, nature, or history – your stay in Bamberg can be different every day.
