Having twice clinched the title of German Basketball Champion and Cup Final winner, the city of Bamberg has become a well-known sporting venue among sports enthusiasts throughout Europe. Bamberg has much to offer in other fields as well.

The Brose Baskets are the pride and joy of Bamberg: For the second time Brose Baskets Bamberg have won the Cup Final 2010 of the German basketball league. The basketball team is passionately supported by its many fans at all its matches - a visit to the Jako Arena gives you an unforgettable sporting experience. Those who prefer football can watch 1. FC Eintract Bamberg, whose first team plays to a high standard in the Regional Southern League.

Otherwise, you can be actively involved yourself by hopping on a bicycle, walking, nordic walking, canoeing, climbing, swimming at the outdoor and indoor pools or making use of the golf courses and tennis courts. Runners can have a bash at the World Heritage Run, a half-marathon set in a truly romantic and historical setting.
