By books, Bamberg is a typical Franconian city in Germany. It has been called a medieval version of Rome, because the city sits atop seven hills which flank the Regnitz River; a perfect place to live under protection. But it is not a "by-the-books" city by any means. Famous for their well-known and unique "Smoky Beer", and a beer capital of Franconia, Bamberg was definitely a fun city to be in. My love for architecture was alive, as Bamberg has a great mix of architectural styles.
The Old City Hall, which straddles a bridge.
Bamberg's "Little Venice" and a line of half-timbered houses.
Beautiful flower in the gardens of the Bishop's Palace.
View of the city from the gardens of the Bishops Palace. Love those red roofs!
I loved the Rococo painted details on this building!
The Bamberg Dom-- a Romanesque and Gothic styled Cathedral.
And that's Bamberg! I caught a cold my brother had, and the day we were in Bamberg was the first day it was really bad, so I really don't remember much aside from the pictures I took. I'd love to return someday, preferably when I'm not in the fog of a cold!
