Having twice clinched the title of German Basketball Champion, 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: 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.
