Private individuals visiting Bamberg can benefit from an audiovisual guide system.

The technically innovative system provides a guide tour with a PDA (personal digital assistant), creating an experience of a very special kind. Bamberg's history and histories are recounted in a colourful and interesting way.

In addition to the regular tour through Bamberg, you can also experience the special thematic tour (the river trail) on Bamberg's waterways and its romantic and historic places by the river.

It is the perfect answer for visitors whose schedules are too tight to attend a conventional guide tour or who prefer to discover the town on their own. The "iTour" tells stories about Bamberg, making full use of hearing and sight: the digital guide tour takes you through the Old Town, revealing interesting and colourful information on important sights. Acoustic impressions and original everyday sounds bring the experience to life: Bamberg's market women chatting, samples of the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra's music, the peal of bells, organ music and Gregorian chants. The tour is complemented with many images of Bamberg shown on the display.

Price:
8,50 € for 4 hours, 12 € for 8 hours
The system can be rented from Tourist Information.

Please note:
The service is available in German and English.
Your passport or driver's licence will be required as a deposit for the audiovisual guide.
