As a Bamberger it fills me up with so much joy, that you recommend my hometown. It´s such a beautiful city and I really love living here. There´s so much to see and to try here (especially the beers). So if anyone of you wants to visit Bamberg, we´ll be very glad to welcome you. Lots of love from Bamberg!
@@janineh5476I'm an American living in Erlangen for about 9 years now. I recently visited Rothenberg ob der tauber and loved it. Bamberg is beautiful as well. Any recommendations as to my next city to experience would be greatly appreciated. Blessings
I visited Bamberg 10 years ago and got some Rauchbier [smoked beer], it reminded me of Guinness crossed with cooked bacon. My trip was even more memorable when a barmaid spilled an entire pint of it on my lap. She was very embarrassed and started patting my thighs with a towel. A very memorable experience!
I was stationed in Bamberg in the early 80's and loved it. I was there for 2yrs. The place is just stunning and I never tired of roaming it, always something new to see. I was also stationed in Augsburg which I found equally enjoyable in the later 70's. I imagine that in the 40+ years since I have been there, actually 40 years this year I believe I am sure that both places have grown but I also loved cruising around to the neighboring towns and trying their beers and food. I think I could go back for a month and enjoy everyday of it. Thanks for the memories!
My wife and I visited Bamberg 6 years ago after seeing some of your previous videos on this channel. We loved it there & it was our favorite place in Germany!
The area around the train station does suck. Definitely right about that. Bamberg is a good visit for a couple of days. Except for a few bars and restaurants, the place shuts down at 8pm during the week. I used it as a base to visit Coburg, and Bayreuth. Coburg's Veste Fortress is amazing, and Bayreuth has incredible sites including the Margravial Opera House, The Neues Schloss, the Wagner Museum, and the Eremitage. That town is definitely worth a little more time than Bamberg.
Been waiting for you to put up a video of one of your favorite places in the world! Haven't gotten a chance to visit yet, but as soon as I can get back and explore that area, you've long since made Bamberg one of the cities I look forward to most!
Bamberg is one of my favorite places on earth! We go to Germany at least once a year. My spouse is the family genealogist and I majored in German history and military history.
Bamberg rein da und ab dafür but in all honesty it's great to see my hometown get reviewed, if you need a suggestion for a thing to visit I suggest Schloss Seehof. It isn't directly in Bambeg but in Memmelsdorf a village near it. It is beautiful castle that has a huge garden and lakes where you can walk around or just have a coffee in the "Schloss Cafe" ^^
Thanks for this great report. It's amazing how quickly you forget how beautiful it is here in Bamberg when you see it every day and "get used to it". Your Top10 have once again opened my eyes. Thank you so much 😊
Nice retro. I love the city of Bamberg. I used to go there all the time when I had lived in Schweinfurt for two years. Back then the US Army was still there, much different now :). Roth is life as they say lol :).
If you ever come to Germany again, you should also go to Trier. It's Germany's oldest city (founded in 16 BC, although legend has it that it predates Rome by 3500 years), and it has a lot of history to offer.
Good Job 👍🏻 Just two things: 1. it is called the Michaelskirche (Michaelschurch) not Michaelsburg. 2. you forgot the very nice Hofhaltung next to the Dom, where lots of movies were filmed also. Greetings from Bamberg 🤗
1:44 - So it is! Tip: Go to the schlenkerla brewery. The "Rauchbier" there is just awesome and the house ist old, cosy and just beautiful. After one beer you can "schlenkerla" (stagger) through the city. :D
The buildings with the embedded wood are post and bean structure with what is known as wattle and daub. The house is first framed up with heavy posts and beams. Then the walls are "filled in" with wattle. These are sticks woven together, and they are between the posts. Then a clay-like material is daubed on, hence the word daub. It would remind one of stucco. But the beams are left exposed, with the wattle and daub in between the beams Some later post and beam homes are covered in clapboards. Then the house owner would not have to do repairs so often. But in the middle ages it was as you see them in the picture. I have always loved this style of building and find there are a few buildings here in the US built in the same principle because of the asthetics. Hope that helps explain it.
If you want to go partying then "Sandstraße" is the place to go. And as far as I remember on mondays there's the "Schoof". I don't know what that means and whether or not it is on every monday, but beer is cheaper then. :)
I really do need to make it over to Germany. I've been once to a weekend conference in Cologne a dozen years ago. I remember checking out the amazing cathedral there and trying the kulsh beer. I have amazing friends in Dusseldorf, Munster and Dresden to name a few. Bamberg looks awesome. I hope to check it out someday. I definitely want to sample the many types of beer. 🍻🍺😋
Then I hope your liver can keep up. There are literally thousands of breweries all over Germany. If you come here, do yourself a favor and try local breweries, rather than the big brands. You are going to be pleasantly surprised. And my guess is that after you tried a bunch of German beers, you might never try something like Miller again.
@@ranekeisenkralle8265 lol. I don't drink Miller, I'm Canadian. I like to think of myself as a bit of a beer conneseur and have a collection of over 300 beer stiens from all over the world to prove it. I've tried the beer from each of them. 😂 I will pick out a beer from a local microbrewery tap any day over the big name beers. Keep in mind, i'm not Swedish, I can't exactly pour a dozen pints down the hatch on a single evening and I don't drink one litre Stein's either but I definitely plan to taste the best ones and am seriously open to suggestions.
@@jonathankinnear8431 I see. The last beer i had was a gift from my housemate - it was called "Wettelsheimer" - all i know it that it comes from somewhere in southern Germany. Both the regular beer and the "Märzen" are quite delicious if you ask me. Apart from that i am partial towards Jever.
@@ranekeisenkralle8265 I'll have a look out for it. So far I have loved all German beers I tried. I'm hoping to go on a German road trip sometime in the next year or 2. Rental car prices are insane right now compared to last year even so I'm trying to decipher if I rent a car or get from place to place by train which is fantastic over there as well.
@@jonathankinnear8431 rentl car prices are one thing. gas prices are worse. The alternative would be public transport, but that would necessitate a mask still. Your choice.
I am from Bamberg and I need to correct you a little bit: the old town hall is build on the Regnitz river the big „river“ is called the „Main-Donau-Kanal“ and it is not natural. Most tourists make this mistake
We will be going to Heidelberg for brothers to take a monthly course. I assume this is doable for a car trip for a day? From your future friends from Quincy! If we left at 7 could we do justice to such a great town? On a Saturday? Dude meet us there in August!
Hello Mark, I’ve seen countless videos from Bamberg, and sadly noticed nobody says anything of how the towers function, how one gets up there, do they clean up the bells once in a while? All I know is that there’s 10 bells and that’s it, could you please tell me, or show me how one gets up there, please? Which door to use and those important details. I need that info to complete a written work based mostly on Bamberg. I do thank you in advance. 🙏🏻
Very nice video, but you`re definitely wrong about Bamberg being "not being full of tourists", and about "just german tourists" and "not many international tourists" being there. I studied in Bamberg for several years, and in the summer months the city center is PACKED with tourists. Bamberg has a population of ~ 78 000, but around 6 million tourists per year visited it before the pandemic (due to Covid these numbers crumbeled of course, and are currently slowly building up again). It`s true that most of these tourists are german, but you can see many asian and american groups as well. Most of them are there for just one day and leave in the evening. Bamberg is definitely one of the most popular tourist destinations in Germany, especially if you consider how small the town itself is.
Hallo, dont eat Weißwurst with Rauchbier ! Noooo ...eat : Bratwürste or Haxen or "Schäuferla" with Rauchbier !!! Greetings from good old Germany (Bamberg)
Incredible! Scandalous! Unbelievable! To think that the heroic Brits and Yanks HAVEN'T flattened this city as for example they did that ugly town called Dresden is beyond me. Totally. Shame on you, heroes...
First sentence first mistake. We got over a million murican tourists in Bamberg a year. That's because we got muricans troops stationed here until few years ago. Please don't advertise out city. It's already too many muricans.
