- Bamberg Cathedral
A visit to Bamberg is incomplete without entering the imperial magnificence of the Bamberg Cathedral. Constructed in the 11th century, this architectural marvel is a testament to Romanesque and Gothic styles.

Positioned squarely on a bridge over the River Regnitz, the Altes Rathaus, with its stunning frescoes, is a sight to behold. Legend has it that the bishop did not grant the citizens any land to build a town hall, which led them to create this island instead. - Klein-Venedig (Little Venice)
A picturesque row of fishermen's houses from the 19th century lines the banks of the river creating a scene reminiscent of Venice. For a special treat, hop on a boat tour with Happytripz during the summer months to glide along the water and soak in the serene, romantic atmosphere. - The New Residence
