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.

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

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.
