City in Germany
3 things to see
Bamberg is a UNESCO-listed Franconian town whose medieval center is a free open-air museum: the old town hall perched on its bridge over the Regnitz, the canal-side row known as Little Venice, and the cathedral square all cost nothing to wander. A glass of the local Rauchbier, the smoky specialty beer poured in the old taverns, stays cheap by German standards, so even a sit-down here is easy on the budget. Bamberg pairs well with Nuremberg and Wurzburg on a low-cost Franconia loop. Spring and autumn bring thinner crowds and lower room rates than the summer peak.
What to see
What each one costs, where the cost is known.
Bamberg Cathedral is a Romanesque and Gothic church on the Domberg hill, housing the only tomb of a pope (Clement II) north of the Alps and the mysterious Bamberg Horseman (an anonymous 13th-century equestrian statue that no one has definitively identified). Free to enter.
Bamberg's UNESCO-listed old town sits on seven hills above the Regnitz River, with a medieval town hall built on a bridge over the river, a Romanesque cathedral, and winding cobblestone streets of half-timbered houses. Free to walk.
Klein Venedig (Little Venice) is a row of half-timbered fishermen's houses along the Regnitz River, their colorful facades reflected in the water. Free to see from the opposite bank or from the bridges.
