Street in Bamberg
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. The view from the Untere Brucke (Lower Bridge) toward the Rathaus bridge is one of the most photographed in Franconia. Budget travelers stand on the bridge and photograph a scene that has not fundamentally changed in 500 years.

Other places worth the walk, and what each one costs.
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.
