However, it has its place in the UNESCO World Heritage list. It is an architectural jewel to be discovered, a city to be tamed. Culture with a capital C, a preserved nautre and relaxation guaranteed in the numerous gardens and parks, the largest density of breweries in the world...are you still hesitating? You must discover it and stop in your tracks in front of the witnesses to the Imperial and Episcopal past of this city, which has the best conserved urban ensemble in Europe. You must sit down on one of the café terraces and let yourself be immersed by the relaxed atmosphere, marked by the 10,000 students of the university. Taste a pretzel and a sausage, both accompanied by a "Rauchbier". Move to the beat of the cultural calendar which proposes jazz and symphonic music, activities and theatre, museums and encounters. Be lulled by the regular sound of the two rivers, the Main and Danube, which flow through the city separately before joining together further on. If you are searching for a rare experience, Bamberg will win you over.
