Bamberg – Old Town: UNESCO World Heritage since 1993.
Bamberg, the thousand-year old city of episcopal and imperial power, is set on seven hills and is situated at the heart of Franconia. Bamberg’s Old Town uniquely illustrates the development of a Middle-Age city. It is a stroke of luck that the town came out of World War II almost intact.
