This is our first visit to Bamberg. We went there mainly old town, a UNESCO Heritage site and Altes Rathaus (Bamberg Old Town Hall). Bamberg is being also nicknamed the "franconian Rome", because it lies on 7 hill. The town itself is best explored on foot. We are pleased to see small houses placed along a river bank and enhanced by reflections in river’s water. We made a fabulous walk there with many more magnificent observations. It is picturesque with a lovely river flowing through the town. Lots of photo opportunities and nice bars and restaurants. Well worth stopping off. #bamberg #germanytravel #couplestrip

The Alte Hofhaltung that translates to the ‘Old Court’ is a historic attraction in the beautiful city of Bamberg. The Alte Hofhaltung area comprises of former houses and farm buildings that belong to the Episcopal palace from the 15th century. By the building is a vast courtyard with a late Gothic arcaded frame. The court is also home to a historical museum and half timbered building with spectacular rooftops. The courtyard with its beautiful hanging baskets of flowers was a sight to behold! The architecture is very interesting as well. You can't go inside but it's worth a look see! Standing there will definitely make you feel going back in time. Located next to Bamberg cathedral and New residence so, you cannot miss this place. Movies shots have been taken to this area. #bamberg #couplestrip #germanytravel

Since 1993, the cathedral has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Town of Bamberg". It worths the climbing up to the hill where the cathedral is sited. The church is extremely impressive from the outside and the inside doesn't disappoint. Its architecture is magnificent, and it contains many sculptures that are both visually impressive and historically important. The detail in the sculptures & carvings are really good! Beautiful organ as well. #bamberg #germanytravel #couplestrip

Eating ice cream makes me happy. It’s a mouth-watering dessert for everyone. We have a quick rest and enjoying dessert in Buonissimo after a long walk in Bamberg. We ordered pistachio & chocolate ice cream and waffle which contain alcohol. The ice cream is super good and smooth. A perfect place for a sweet treat in Bamberg. #bucketlistreboot #bamberg #couplestrip

One of the most important sights of Bamberg is the historic town hall. According to legend the bishop of Bamberg did not grant the citizens any land for the construction of a town hall. This prompted the townsfolk to ram stakes into the river Regnitz to create an artificial island between the two districts, on which the Bamberg Town Hall (Altes Rathaus )was erected. We went to this old town hall in different timing - evening and morning. The pictures really look good in both timings. The most beautiful view of the town hall is from the Geyerswörthsteg south of the town hall. Another beautiful photo motif is the view from the eastern part of the Upper Bridge. #bucketlistreboot #tripblazers #couplestrip #ilovebamberg

The former fishermen's district in Bamberg's Island City is endearingly known as Little Venice (Klein Venedig). This district is characterised by half-timbered buildings that prop each other up and by tiny, pretty gardens. Pretty houses by the river in Bamberg. Very nice ambience, it is best to walk upstream on the right so you have a very nice illumination of the houses that are directly on the water and remind a little of Venice. You can rent a holiday apartment in "Ambiente Klein Venice". #bucketlistreboot #couplestrip

The monastery is situated at the peak of the hill exhibiting a magnificent view of the city of Bamberg. The city is built over seven hills each with a church at its peak. The St. Michael's Monastery holds the highest altitude in comparison with the other peaks. We went today but the church has been closed for several years due to the restoration. Good thing it has a very beautiful, well maintained garden. It takes a good hike to come here but once you are on the top, you have a breathe taking view of Bamberg with the cathedral and residence shining in the background. Great for a walk and to see a good view of the town from its garden. #bucketlistreboot #bamberg #couplestrip

We ate breakfast here today as it had a lot of choices delicious cakes, pastries and savouries. Really pleasant, polite and helpful staff. The selection of cakes and savouries was pretty good, all at low prices. They also have tables outside on the Green market . The cafe is located at Franz-Ludwig-Str. 5C, 96047 Bamberg. Recommend for the breakfast or coffee break! #bucketlistreboot #tripblazers

Cozy Italian restaurant serving pizza, pasta & traditional mains in a warm, brick-lined space. Nice change from traditional German food! My husband ordered seafood pasta and I choose a big plate of antipasti. Both dishes were freshly prepared, nicely presented and delicious. Wonderful experience all around. Highly recommend! Little Italy is simply the best! The restaurant is located at Pfahlplaetzchen 4-6, 96049 Bamberg. #bucketlistreboot #tripblazers #bamberg

Bamberg - the beautiful precious gem among German towns. Paul Pörtner, German novelist and playwright, declared his love to her: „In short: the most perfect example of a town, that still exists in the present day. And countryside, which God Himself created in a happy moment and, as it were, prepared for the site of a town.“ Bamberg, like Rome, is built on seven hills and was chosen by Emperor Henry II as the capital of his empire. He founded the bishopric of Bamberg in 1007, and laid the foundation of a magnificent medieval town. Several centuries later, a prince bishop “modernised” Bamberg and brought most people to cover up the medieval half timbered framework with state-of-the-art stone facades in baroque apearance, thus turning it into a unique example of a baroque city, full of lavish splendour and playful decorative elements. Bamberg survived all the wars of the past centuries largely untouched and can be experienced as it was centuries ago. A work of art itself, Bamberg harbours world-famous art-treasures and architectural highlights of all centuries since the middle ages. The city fascinates visitors with its largest intact old city in all of Europe and it has been a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site since 1993. How can Bamberg’s fascination and importance be described? We could list many examples. Cathedral Square, which leaves visitors speechless with its caleidoscope of European architectural styles through the centuries , the smile of St. Kunigunde and the Old Town Hall, like a ship at anchor in the middle of the River Regnitz. The narrow alleys which wind through the old part of town, the wonderful views from the hills over the roofs of patrician houses, churches and palaces. Dietzenhofer’s New Residence, the former fishermens’ quarter of „Little Venice“ and the Altenburg castle high above the city. Bamberg is fertile ground for the fine arts in Franconia. #holidayvacation #holidayvacation

Take a nice walk along the beautiful riverside at Bamberg, Germany, to enjoy a breath of fresh air!

Many travelers associate German cities with the scars of war. The relentless artillery fire of World War II mercilessly destroyed numerous historical buildings. Even with the subsequent efforts to rebuild "as old as before," a significant portion of the architectural and cultural heritage was irretrievably lost. Today, strolling through German streets, the eye is mostly met with the simple lines and modern style of German Bauhaus architecture, the once-rich historical charm having faded. However, in the southern German state of Bavaria, there lies a small town seemingly untouched by time – Bamberg. This small town, throughout its 1,000-year history, has miraculously escaped the ravages of war, making it an anomaly among German cities. It perfectly preserves the most authentic appearance of a German city, filled with medieval buildings, each brick and stone bearing the stories of time, precious and harmonious. Bamberg's history can be traced back to 902 AD. It once served as the residence of Holy Roman Emperors and religious bishops, and in the 11th century, it was the power center of the Holy Roman Empire. Its inherent "Roman city" royal temperament and extraordinary heritage are truly impressive. In the early 18th century, a Baroque Renaissance revival swept through the area. Numerous German Baroque architects showcased their talents here, leaving behind countless masterpieces, giving Bamberg a unique urban style, a rare blend of ancient Roman and Baroque elements. Walking through the city feels like stepping into a magical art palace, with surprises around every corner. Bamberg enjoys the reputation of a "water city." Four river systems – the Rhine, Main, Danube, and Regnitz – flow through the city, injecting it with a vibrant soul. In the heart of the city, bridges span the shimmering waterways, ancient buildings reflect in the water, and diverse sculptures stand silently along the banks, creating an elegant and tranquil atmosphere. This is why it's also known as "Little Venice." Among these, Bamberg's City Hall is particularly striking. This typical Gothic half-timbered, steep-roofed building sits like a dazzling pearl on an artificial island in the middle of the river. On both sides of the building, old bridges cross the Regnitz River. The traditional Bavarian frescoes painted on its exterior walls, with their delicate brushstrokes and brilliant colors, are of exceptional artistic value. The "City Hall on the Water" has become a prominent symbol of Bamberg. Furthermore, Bamberg is also a hilltop city. Seven hills within the city are crowned with churches reaching for the sky. Gothic church spires stand tall, outlining a magnificent skyline, showcasing the city's solemnity and sanctity. Thanks to its rich historical and cultural heritage, the entire city has been designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Wandering through the streets and alleys of Bamberg's old town is like traveling back to the Middle Ages. Winding paths are flanked by quiet courtyards, and ancient stones exude a rustic charm. Every step is a step through history. Here, time seems to slow down. Shops are scattered throughout the old town's streets. The enticing aroma of German pork knuckles and sausages wafts from restaurants, while in taverns, people leisurely savor locally brewed smoked dark beer. Coffee shops are filled with the rich fragrance of coffee, and boutiques display exquisite handicrafts. The local residents lead a comfortable and leisurely life. On summer afternoons, they either sit in colorful corners enjoying delicious food and drinks or bask in the sun on flower-filled terraces. This otherworldly slow-paced life evokes a sense of longing in every visitor, who, constrained by their itinerary, can only regretfully leave this beauty behind, a memorable and unforgettable hue in their memories.

I walked around the city of Bamberg, Germany. This is the Unterbrücke Bridge, and the fairy-tale-like buildings along the Rinker-Regnitzalm River are popular. A short walk away is Bamberg Cathedral, and the surrounding town is also very beautiful. You can see all the tourist attractions in this town in about half a day. You can also take a cruise from this river. If you have the budget and time, please do it. 📍Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/BQQo1wqoeFouHRPx9 #0yentripFebruary2025#Germany #Bamberg

#myhiddengems Bamberg is a beautiful Bavarian city and what made me pick it is that it is comparatively lesser known. While at our hostel in Nuremberg, the three or us tried to figure out options for daytrips. It seemed that Bamberg wasn't a part of many people's itinerary. And the reason was merely a lack of mention. This is thought would be a good reason to head there. I always prefer places with less tourist and architecture especially in context to Germany has mostly been satisfying. So we left for Bamberg. We didn’t have much of a plan for our visit to Bamberg and simply began to wander. We easily found the Old Town Hall, spanning the Regnitz River. The historic town is compact and that makes it walkable to reach most places of tourist interest. Strolling down by the river we had our first architectural sighting of St. Stephen's church. Walking further got us to a place with several buses making a stop. These were the notorious tour buses. Focusing on the sights we kept walking. Soon enough the old court appeared. Again the architecture was very interesting. This followed a trip the museum which was nice. Next we had a glimpse of the shlenkerla tavern. It is a brewery that serves the local speciality of smoked beer is the age old traditional manner. (from the wooden barrel). Looking at how crowded it seemed. we just continued walking. The rest of the day trip included several old architectural gems and heritage like little venice and then we were on our way back to the train station. #myhiddengems #summerdestinations #100waysoftravel #germany #bamberg #medievaltown #cherryblossom2024 #solotrip #explorer #singapore

Arriving in the light rain, the long-awaited German tourist destination "Bamberg", I felt a little depressed. Maybe my expectations were too high. Without the blue sky and white clouds, the colors of the small town were not so bright, and tourists could not be seen leisurely strolling around. Although the sky seemed to be a little brighter after the light rain stopped, there was no glow in the evening. Due to the weather, it gets dark early and light up late, and time passes imperceptibly. Bamberg is an entire city listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The narrow gravel roads that have been preserved to this day lead you to every corner of the town. Most of the roads can only be passed in one direction. Perhaps in ancient times, horse carriages were only used by nobles and did not need too wide roads. The city is built on mountains and rivers, with undulating terrain, water and aura, making it suitable for enjoying the beautiful scenery of the city and taking photos. The most representative building probably belongs to the old municipal building Altes Rathaus). The building is on an island between two bridges on the river. It looks like it is on the bridge. The Gothic building from 1462 has existed for 800 years. The building It seems that part of it is hanging over the river outside the foundation. Her outer wall can be admired from a bridge next door. The passage in the middle is still in use today. When people pass by, it feels like walking through a city gate. The Baroque tower was built later and now houses some exhibits, which are time-limited and require admission. Bamberg Cathedral has a long history, dating back more than a thousand years. Of course, it has been rebuilt and restored later, and the interior is gorgeous. Because I am not familiar with the historical stories of Christianity, I did not stay too long. The New Palace is a block not far from the river. It is currently under renovation but can be visited. It is adjacent to the History Museum. It is an interesting place for tourists who like to delve into historical stories. The small city was built on seven hills. I wonder if it was built on seven hills in imitation of the Roman city? Therefore, Bamberg is also known as "Rome of Franconia". There is a building with green door and window frames in the city that is the most famous local specialty "smoked beer" bar. As for whether it tastes good? What you hear are all opinions, and everyone has different feelings, but most tourists choose to take a break and have a drink here. Take the opportunity to use the restroom, and of course you can visit without drinking. There are many restaurants by the river. If you stay here, it will be relatively quiet after the day trippers have retreated during dinner. I didn’t find any special meals, but the steak with potato balls tastes good. The most important thing is that it is very cheap. Come and have a glass of draft beer while doing so. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery around you while eating and drinking. There are two rivers passing through the city of Bamberg, the natural Regnitz River and the Rhine-Main-Danube Canal. It can be seen that when the city was founded more than 1,000 years ago, the locals had used canals to connect several large rivers in the territory, which can be used for navigation and adjustment. Water irrigation, today we can still see countless bridges connecting the roads in the city, and there are dams, sluices and other water conservancy facilities in the river to regulate the water level. The entire city is built around these two rivers. The famous Little Venice and the Old City Hall are built along the river. There are typical German-style buildings on both sides of the river, which are pleasing to the eye and beautiful. Next to the old city hall, you can see the old port. There are also small cruise ships on the pier. I don’t know if it’s the wrong season, it’s closed, or it’s a work boat. But there were two small mechanical hand-cranked cranes on the pier that caught my attention. Judging from the years when the crane fuselage was cast, they were 1849 and 1864 respectively, which is almost 200 years ago. Judging from the maintenance and wear and tear of the mechanical transmission part, It should still be usable, which makes me, a mechanical student, in awe. After experiencing countless wars, especially World War I and World War II, to be able to maintain this state, I have to admire the meticulous management and dedication of the Germans. The hotel is located in the central area of ​​the small town, near Little Venice and the Old Town Hall, Hotel Weierich. The appearance of the house is not much different from other buildings in the old town. I accidentally saw a tour guide taking tourists to the hotel. On the side, what was being explained, my curiosity made me notice that there is a spring under the house. You can come into contact with the spring by walking down an inconspicuous staircase. You can still see people fetching water. The mark on the wall is 1554. It goes without saying that the hotel is An old building with history. Although the room has been renovated, its age can still be felt. Most of the ancient neighborhoods are between two rivers. It takes two or three hours to walk around the main scenic spots, but of course you can't delve into the stories behind the buildings. Due to the weather, I was not in high spirits, so I ended my trip to Bamberg reluctantly. I hope you have good weather when you go and you will have a great harvest.

I visited the Rose Garden in Bamberg. To be exact, it's the Rose Garden at the New Residenze. There were so many roses in bloom that it was great for taking pictures! The garden isn't that big, so you can see everything in about 30 minutes. #OverseasFlightEvent #OverseasTravel
