Tour description
Bamberg is one of Germany’s most beautiful towns, a UNESCO World Heritage gem spread across seven hills and a river. It is renowned for its remarkable town hall located on an island in the water, its majestic cathedral, and its unique smoked beer. On this walking tour, a local guide will introduce you to the city’s heritage.
You will admire the island town hall, climb up to the cathedral, and stroll through the fishermen’s district known as “Little Venice.” Along the way, you will hear about the prince-bishops and the famous Rauchbier. Beautiful and rich in history, Bamberg is a wonderful town to explore on foot.
