Bamberg, perched on seven hills and often called Franconian Rome, radiates oldw world charm. Its UNESCO listed old town is a feast for the eyes. Cobbled lanes and half-timbered facads that largely survived World War II, preserving one of Germany’s most intact historic centers. Stroll to the whimsical old town hall, famously perched in the middle of the Regnit River and reached by bridges from both banks. Best time to visit May to September for open air vibes. Think the blues and jazz festival early August and Sanurva late August. Getting there. Direct trains Munich Hbonhof Bamberg in approximately 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours on the fastest
