Full description

Bamberg escaped major damage in the Second World War, and its old town is one of the best-preserved in Germany. Your guide shows you the Old Town Hall, built on an island in the middle of the Regnitz, and the fishermen’s houses of Little Venice along the riverbank.

You then climb to the cathedral hill to see the Imperial Cathedral, the Old Court and the New Residence, and hear why the town is famous for its Rauchbier, a beer brewed with smoked malt. Bamberg is about 40 minutes from Nuremberg and around two hours from Munich by train.
