Overview
Enjoy a private, exclusive tour with your own local guide. Step into a fairytale setting on this walking tour of Bamberg. This resilient city that escaped WWII destruction stands today as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Start at the Bamberg Cathedral, with its four distinct towers on each corner. Did an Empress who lies buried here, really walk on fire? Admire Bamberg’s finest example of pure Gothic architecture at the Church of Our Lady. At the Neue Residenz, the Rose Garden provides a picture-perfect view of red-tiled roofs below. Afterwards, descend through winding alleyways to the banks of the Regnitz River. There you will find Little Venice, a row of 17th century fishermen’s cottages. End at the iconic Old Town Hall, a building so stubborn it had to be built in the middle of the river.
Please note: The program and attractions may vary based on booking date/time and crowd conditions, ensuring each visit is a unique experience.

What to expect
Bamberg Cathedral
20m
Enter the resting place of the only canonized imperial couple, Henry II and Kunigunde. Look for the famous life-size medieval statue whose true identity remains an unsolved mystery.
15m
Step through the "Beautiful Gateway" into a romantic courtyard framed by medieval buildings. This exceptionally preserved complex recently served as a filming location for The Three Musketeers.
Neue Residenz Bamberg
25m
Stroll through a baroque sea of 4,500 roses in the prince-bishop’s private garden. The terrace offers the city's best panoramic views.
20m
Admire Bamberg's only purely Gothic church. It is famous for its towering choir and "miraculous" image of Mary
Little Venice
20m
Walk along the riverbank to view this charming row of 17th-century fishermen’s cottages. The half-timbered houses with their tiny gardens right on the water create the city's most picturesque scene.
Altes Rathaus
20m
An architectural oddity - built on water because the bishop refused to grant land for it. Check the protruding fresco on the side, to see a playful 3D effect.
