🇩🇪 Bamberg: Franconia’s Smoky Beer Paradise 🍻🏰
Nestled where the Regnitz River splits and reunites, this UNESCO gem is a living medieval postcard—where museums/churches/shops punctually close at 6PM (but we sneaked into the 16th-century Rosengarten for sunset city views! 🌆). 🍺 Liquid Gold • Rauchbier (Smoked Beer): Made with beechwood-fired malt—tastes like a campfire in a glass! 🔥 Only 2 historic brewers keep the tradition: 1️⃣ Schlenkerla (since 1405!) 2️⃣ Brauerei Spezial (founded 1536) 🌹 Hidden Perks • Neue Residenz Rose Garden: Secret panoramic spot over red rooftops. • Pro tip: Pair smoked beer with Bamberg onions (local obsession). #FranconianFlair #WorldHeritageWander #MedievalVibes
