Bamberg Essentials

Bamberg’s UNESCO-listed Old Town is defined by its three historical districts: the episcopal Bergstadt, the bourgeois Inselstadt, and the Gärtnerstadt. This selection features the 13th-century Cathedral with its four towers, the iconic Old Town Hall suspended over the Regnitz River, and the medieval Altenburg castle. Visitors can explore the half-timbered fisherman's houses of Little Venice, the baroque Rose Garden at the New Residence, and sample traditional smoked beer at the historic Schlenkerla brewpub.
