Bamberg: Little Venice, Rauchbier, and Upper Franconia's UNESCO Jewel on Seven Hills
Bamberg has a population around 70,000 and sits on the Regnitz river in Upper Franconia, Bavaria. The entire Altstadt has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1993, recognised for its medieval urban layout and over 1,000 listed buildings. The Bamberger Reiter (Bamberg Horseman), a 13th-century equestrian statue in the Dom, is one of the most celebrated medieval sculptures. Klein Venedig (Little Venice), a row of fishermen's houses along the Regnitz, creates one of Germany's most photographed townscapes.
Bamberg has the highest density of breweries per capita of any German city: around 70 in the surrounding region. Schlenkerla, brewing Rauchbier (smoked beer) since 1405, is the most famous. The Altes Rathaus, perched on an island in the Regnitz connected by bridges, is an improbable piece of architecture. E.T.A. Hoffmann lived here and directed the local theatre. The Otto-Friedrich-Universitaet has around 13,000 students. Bamberg lies 60 kilometres north of Nuremberg. Adult companionship follows Bavaria's regulatory approach.
