Frequently Asked Questions
On the Regnitz, a tributary of the Main, or along the Main-Danube Canal depending on water levels and traffic. Either way the old centre is easy to reach: five to fifteen minutes on foot, and several lines run a shuttle when the berth is further out.
Yes, entirely. The historic centre, the Old Town Hall and the Domplatz link up on foot, with no transport to arrange and no timetable to watch. That is the charm of this call.
Legend says the prince-bishop refused to grant the townspeople any land, so they built their town hall on an islet between two stone bridges, where no one could take it from them. The Altes Rathaus is now covered in trompe-l'oeil frescoes, with a half-timbered house clinging to its flank as if suspended over the current.
Klein-Venedig, a row of fishermen's houses with tightly packed facades along the Regnitz, each with a tiny garden and a mooring ring for the boat. The best view is from the neighbouring bridge, or from the water on a short excursion boat trip.
The imperial cathedral, consecrated in the 13th century, home to the Bamberg Horseman, an equestrian statue whose identity historians still argue about, and to the tomb of Emperor Henry II and Cunigunde. Pope Clement II also rests here, the only papal burial north of the Alps. Opposite, the New Residence hides a rose garden with a sweeping view over the red roofs of the old centre.
No, and that is rare in Germany. The city came through the Second World War without major destruction. The streets you walk have stood as they are for centuries, which is part of why Bamberg has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1993.
A smoked beer, the local speciality, made with malt dried over a beechwood fire. It tastes of smoked ham: you either take to it or set the glass down. It is worth at least a sip, ideally in a century-old tavern a few minutes from the cathedral. Several family breweries serve their own.
Allow about fifteen minutes on foot from the quay to the Old Town Hall and twenty to the Domplatz. Half a day covers the essentials, though the city rarely lets itself be exhausted in a single call.
The lanes climb gently toward the Domplatz: the gradient stays moderate, but the cobbles are old and uneven. Good shoes are enough for most walkers. Anyone who struggles with slopes can stay in the lower town, which already holds the Old Town Hall and Little Venice.
The euro and German. Cards work in shops and restaurants, but traditional taverns and small breweries often prefer cash, so carry a few euros. English is understood in the tourist centre.
