Explore the World Heritage old town by day, come home to your own holiday house in the evening. Approx. 15 minutes by bus.

Why Bamberg

A city you can’t see in a day


Bamberg’s old town has survived the centuries almost untouched and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1993. Add a beer culture you’ll only find in Franconia and a countryside that is made for day trips.

World Heritage old town
The Old Town Hall in the river Regnitz, the Imperial Cathedral, Little Venice and the New Residence are all close together. Best explored on foot.
Beer city
Around a dozen breweries in town, the famous smoked beer and, in summer, beer cellars under old chestnut trees.
Franconian food
Schäuferla (roast pork shoulder) with dumplings, the Bamberg onion and a snack at the beer cellar. Hearty and good.
Nature on the doorstep
Franconian Switzerland, the Steigerwald and flat cycle paths along the Regnitz, Main and Aurach. The Aurach valley starts right at the house.

Questions about a holiday in Bamberg


All questions and answers

Where is the best place to stay for a holiday in Bamberg?

It depends on what matters to you. In the old town you’re right in the middle of things, but usually in a hotel room without your own parking. At M6 in Stegaurach you get a whole holiday house with a kitchen and parking at the door, and you’re still in the old town in approx. 15 minutes by bus.

How many days should I plan for Bamberg?

Two to three days are enough for the old town with the cathedral, the Old Town Hall and Little Venice. If you also want to see Franconian Switzerland, the Steigerwald or Nuremberg, a week is ideal.

Do I need a car in Bamberg?

Not for the city. The bus stops right outside the house and takes approx. 15 minutes to the old town. For trips into the region a car is handy, and every home has two private parking spaces.

Can I bring my dog on holiday in Bamberg?

Yes. On request up to two pets are welcome; the fee is €15 per pet per night. Dog liability insurance is required.

Is Bamberg good for a family holiday?

Very. The Hain park with playground and boat hire, the treetop walk in the Steigerwald and the Hundshaupten wildlife park are just a few ideas. At Anno 1802 there is also a gallery with a play corner and a garden.
