BAMBERG OLD TOWN MAGIC

Referred to as the Rome of Franconia, Bamberg stands on seven lush hills, surrounded by rustic countryside. By uniting Medieval and Baroque architecture, the superbly maintained environs feature colorful market gardens. This green heritage — alive since the Middle Ages — and set in the middle of a city, is unique for the area. Don’t miss the short walks, local characters, old traditions and historical diversity that make Bamburg a pioneer of urban gardening.
