Narrow alleys, medieval and baroque building fronts, picture-perfect sights, and a romantic flair: Bamberg is a unique work of art, steeped in 1.000 years of history. The city enchants visitors with its intact old town centre and takes you back to times gone by. A UNESCO World Heritage site since 1993, the town is a lively arts and cultural centre today and harbours art treasures and architectural highlights from all centuries since the Middle Ages.

A vivid cultural scene with theatres, music bars, and the Bamberg Symphonic Orchestra, quaint shops in historic houses, 30 antique stores, and a long tradition of family-run breweries generating a myriad of brew pubs and their summer-equivalent beer gardens high up on Bamberg’s hills add to the atmosphere of an historic town that is alive as ever.

The town is surrounded by nature parks just waiting for the active and nature-loving visitors, boasting a great number of castles, palaces, and monasteries, vineyards and gardens.
