Why Bamberg Old Town matters
Bamberg's old town stretches across several hills and a river island. Narrow lanes lead to old houses, bridges and churches. It was barely damaged in the war, which is why it still looks so complete. Wander at leisure, with a stop at a brewery pub.
Talking points
- It is a World Heritage Site
