Bumbling Around in Bamberg, Bamberg, Germany

More tourists looking to experience Germany head for Nuremberg, Munich or Berlin and while those are all great cities, you should consider visiting Bamberg for something little different. even though it isn’t connected with the Romantic Road that stretches from Würzburg to Füssen, it certainly is worth a quick peak if you’re checking out the route already!

After all, with a 1,000 years of history, excellent beer and a UNESCO World Heritage site title, it’s bound to offer something amazing, right?

Once you have either meandered through the streets from the train station or parked in town and after you have taken a peak around some of the shops that line the allies, head straight for the historic city center and start at the Altes Rathaus (city hall).
