There is no way to avoid art and culture in Bamberg!
Proof of this is the Old Town that formed in more than thousand years. Today, it constitutes a very unique townscape.
This uniqueness and the model-like structures of an early medieval town that were preserved until today were the reasons why the UNESCO added Bamberg's Old Town to the world cultural heritage list.
Bamberg enjoys a great reputation as a city of music and theatre, for which the world-renowned Bamberg Symphony Orchestra are held accountable as well as a number of high-class theatres, leaded by the E.T.A.-Hoffmann-Theatre. Fifteen Museums - some of them of European rank - display a large variety of unique collections and some very rare objects. As an old diocesan city, numerous Churches are to be found in Bamberg. Some of them are a must-see for your visit to the city. Bamberg has more than 8500 students enrolled at the Otto-Friedrich-University. They are responsible for keeping the inns filled until late in the night .... Last but not least Bamberg features a very unique beer cultur that expresses itself in various forms, ranging from brewery inns to the "Beer Kellers" (local term for the beer gardens) and some beer sorts like the smoky beer that are special to Bamberg.
