🇩🇪 Summer in Bamberg: A Fairytale in Franconia ☀️🏰

Though small, Bamberg bursts with charm and laid-back vibes. From the main station, hop on a bus to the Old Town—all major sights are within a 2-3 hour stroll: 📍 Must-See Spots 1️⃣ Bamberg Cathedral (Bamberger Dom) Closed today for a festival, but normally awe-inspiring! ⛪ 2️⃣ New Palace (Neue Residenz) Rose Garden views (even off-season) + distant glimpses of Kloster St. Michael (still under wraps from renovations!). 3️⃣ Kloster St. Michael 10-min uphill walk for panoramic city views + a beer at the hilltop tavern 🍻. 4️⃣ Old Town Hall (Altes Rathaus) The iconic "floating" building on the Regnitz, flanked by bridges with St. Kunigunde’s statue (Bamberg’s patron saint!). 5️⃣ Old Town Streets Bustling with pubs and shops—laughter and clinking glasses everywhere! 6️⃣ Kettenbrücke & Luitpoldbrücke Bridges with buskers 🎶 + riverside loungers soaking up the sun. Spot fish darting below! 🐟 🌿 Why You’ll Love It ✓ Compact but lively—no rush, just wanderlust ✓ Smoky beer (Rauchbier!) breaks at canal-side taverns ✓ That golden-hour glow on red rooftops #BambergSummer #SlowTravel #GermanGem
