Itinerary

  • Alte Hofhaltung

    20 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    At Alte Hofhaltung, the tour begins in a remarkably well-preserved complex that reflects Bamberg’s medieval and Renaissance past. Surrounded by half-timbered buildings and ornate facades, this former episcopal residence offers a vivid sense of how the city once functioned as a center of ecclesiastical power. The courtyard’s charm and architectural harmony have made it a popular venue for cultural events and even film productions, giving visitors a sense of both its historical and living significance.
  • Bamberg Cathedral

    20 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    Just steps away stands Bamberg Cathedral, one of the most important landmarks in the city and a key contributor to its UNESCO World Heritage status. Built in the 13th century, the cathedral impresses with its four imposing towers and its blend of Romanesque and Gothic architectural styles. Inside, visitors encounter significant works of art and history, including the famed Bamberg Horseman, making this stop central to understanding the religious and cultural heritage of the region.
  • Little Venice

    20 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    From there, the tour continues to Klein Venedig, a picturesque stretch along the Regnitz River. Often referred to as “Little Venice,” this area features a row of colorful fishermen’s houses with small gardens and balconies that seem to hover over the water. The peaceful riverside setting offers a contrast to the monumental architecture seen earlier, highlighting Bamberg’s everyday historical life and its deep connection to the river.
  • Neue Residenz Bamberg

    20 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    The route then leads to Altes Rathaus, one of the city’s most iconic and unusual structures. Situated on an island in the middle of the river and connected by pedestrian bridges, the building stands as a symbol of Bamberg’s independence from episcopal authority in earlier centuries. Its elaborately painted exterior and dramatic setting make it a highlight of the tour, while its interior houses a collection of fine porcelain for those wishing to explore further.
  • Neue Residenz Bamberg

    20 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    Continuing on, you will pass by Neue Residenz, a grand 17th-century palace that once served as the residence of Bamberg’s prince-bishops. With over 40 richly decorated rooms, the building reflects the wealth and influence of its former occupants. Even from the outside, its impressive scale and refined architectural details provide insight into the city’s baroque period and the lifestyle of its ruling elite.
  • Freiwillige Feuerwehr Bamberg — Löschgruppe 6 "Domberg"

    20 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    The tour concludes at the Rose Garden Bamberg, located within the inner court of the New Residence. This elegant garden, filled with rows of blooming roses and carefully maintained landscaping, offers a tranquil ending to the walk. From here, visitors can enjoy sweeping views over Bamberg’s Old Town and toward Michaelsberg, making it both a scenic viewpoint and a peaceful place to reflect on the city’s rich heritage.
