Tour description
Bamberg is one of the most beautiful towns in Germany, a UNESCO World Heritage jewel built across seven hills and a river, famous for its extraordinary town hall standing on an island in the water, its great cathedral and its unique smoked beer. On this walking tour a local guide reveals its heritage.
You will admire the island town hall, climb to the cathedral, and wander the fishermen's quarter known as 'Little Venice'. Along the way you will hear about the prince-bishops and the famous Rauchbier. Beautiful and historic, Bamberg is a wonderful town to explore on foot.
