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.
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.
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" ^^
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 :).
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 😊
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.
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 🤗
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. :)
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. 🙏🏻
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!
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
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.
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!
No.
I'm a Bamberger and i hate the flocking tourists.
I don't even tell anyone where I'm from bcs I don't want more tourists here.
Same here! I'm from Erlangen and i absolutely love Bamberg!
How many days would you recommend in your city?
@@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
Do you recommend anyone stay there for 1 or 2 nights? Or should one go from Nuremburg for a day visit?
Visiting these beautiful towns and just walking around is usually the best thing you can do. So simple!
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.

That is a perfect description

Just in time! We'll be heading there in a few weeks, thanks!

Thank you, watching your videos is the least expensive, and least frustrating way to travel.
I lived on the military base near that town. Growing up around there was such a great experience! I miss it!
Thanks for leaving:)
Omg my hometown 😍
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.
I really want to go back to Germany. I love it there.
I've been several times in Bamberg (last one in 2003, though!), and I agree. A very beautiful medieval city, and with great & unusual beer, too!
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!
I though I lost ot but found it on a hard drive and had to put it out

Спасибо за совет. Поеду обязательно.,я очень люблю Бамберг
Yeah good idea too get the tourists out of the city.
By why don't suggest Schloss Neuschwanstein? It's even further away from Bamberg.
I was stationed here for 6 years in the 80,s I loved living near this great town
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 :).
Just came back from one Month in Germany so gorgeous.
That's cool
Hello! Good Video! Im actually from Bamberg, and good information!
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 😊
Fantastic stuff, Mark! Have been waiting for this video for literally years haha
Als Bambergerin kann ich das nur bestätigen 👍 man kann da viel unternehmen.
schöne Grüße,komme auch aus Bamberg😁
Bamberg is the Most beautiful City in Germany! Nightlife is also very Good, With nice Bars and pubs! And its close to Nuermberg, ~1h Train Ride.
I love it
Our Bamberg/Bavaria trip was COVID cancelled, March 2020 rip 😭
That sucks :(

I live in Bamberg. Great Video :) you should have seen the „Hain“, nice place to relax with the botanic garden! Best regards
I been there...!
I’m studying abroad there soon, and I’m so excited!
I wish you well. It's a beautiful town I grew up in.
❤I love Bamberg Thank You Bro nice Video😀🍻
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 🤗
My Hometown ❤️
Germany is my favorite country on earth, by far.
Uber alles!
Cool and interesting video
I wanna goooo 😭
Nice! Now do Nuremberg/Fürth and Rothenburg ob der Tauber next - they're right around the corner!
Нюрнберг красивый. Но Бамберг добрый, уютный, с хорошим пивом
You had me at Bacon and Beer!!!
I lived in Bamberg 3 years 😍
Throwback!!!
Awesome video
Thanks tobi
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 was really surprised, I thought that smoked beer would be revolting based on how people described it. I thought my first was tasty!
Nice one! You can give a try also for some East Europe cities. I’ve recorded recently in Bucharest 😀

Cutest town hall in Germany in 1936 scariest town hall to visit lol
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!
I guess I have to try Rauchbier again, because the only time I tried it I found it, horrible too XD
Something about that old town hall building doesn't look structurally sound. Really cool though.
I'm from there
Go to Groningen in the Netherlands it's beautiful

Hey can you tell me how much Appartements costs monthly in Bamberg
So Rauchbier then!
It's wonderful
I have a day trip from munich should i go to bamberg or nurmberg ?
Is that a re-upload... I thought I have seen a video like that about Bamberg from the same spot before. :)
it's definetly older, he looks very young there
Ich wohne da:)
I'm curious: Have you been to Schwäbisch Hall? What's your intake of that place?
Maybe you dont notice it, but there are a lot of tourists here lol
I live here btw :)
Bamberg tourism has grown a lot the past decade for sure.
after 3 beers all beers taste good.
I'm hoping you can tell me, I'm really want to see the Krampus parades. do you know when and where I can find them?
I would think Dec 5 to Dec 6
👍👍👍👍💚💚💚💚👌👌👌👌
Do you recommend visiting Bremen?
Нет. Много ассоциальных личностей
Hallo, dont eat Weißwurst with Rauchbier ! Noooo ...eat : Bratwürste or Haxen or "Schäuferla" with Rauchbier !!! Greetings from good old Germany (Bamberg)
I love Bamberg but it’s a bit rough around near the station now. I think the government have placed some Middle Eastern migrants there
So is it not welcoming to International tourists then ? just German tourists?

Bamberg’s ‘little Venice ‘ is the least impressive of all the places called ‘Venice’
No - Birmingham (England) is.
