Bamberg Highlights

• If you consider yourself as a bit of a book worm then be sure to visit the Bamberg State Library an extensive collection which can be found within Neue Residenz which was formerly the city’s palace to Bavarian Princes at the turn of the 18th century. And once you’re done taking in what the library has to offer the surrounding gardens offer beautiful views of the city.
• Take in the late Romanesque architecture of Bamberg’s cathedral which has four grand towers to offer. With many historic works of art to offer within the cathedral, one significant piece is the marble tomb belonging to the cathedral’s founder and his wife. Another stand out piece of work within the cathedral is the Bamberg Horseman an equestrian statue possibly belong to Emperor Conrad III, that currently serves as a symbol of the city.
• Visit the Old Town Hall located in the middle of the Regnitz River which has been made accessible through the building of two bridges. With an interesting history, be sure to observe the leg of the cherub that sticks out from the wall, a sculpture that attracts a lot of attention from visitors.
• Little Venice is a former fisherman’s settlement, a unique site to Bamberg. Houses often have tiny front gardens and piers with boats tied together.
• Located on top of one of Bamberg’s seven hills, the former monastery, Saint Micheal can be found providing stunning architecture typical of the city of Bamberg.
