Bamberg: Germany's Smoky Gem

by richiecdisc - last update: Dec 10, 2004

scenically situated, the Altes Rathaus
Bamberg is a place of unheralded magnificence; in it’s juxtaposition of architectural styles that blend together effortlessly, you will feel as if walking through a history lesson brought to life. Scenically situated on the River Regnitz, it comes to fruition in the city’s focal point, the Altes Rathaus that actually straddles the river, having been built on a bridge. Adding to this fine jumble of buildings is one of the most unique beer cultures in all the world as Bamberg is home to Rauchbier, a smoke flavored treat that can be sampled in centuries old brewpubs with old world charm. In fact, if not for electricity, you would swear you have stepped back in time. The experience as a whole is one you cannot miss. Wander the cobblestone streets of this timeless gem, drink the seductive smoked beers, and enjoy the most beautiful of all German cities, Bamberg.

 We're going to Bamberg tomorrow. Thinking of staying across from Fassla at Spezial Brewery. It's cheaper. Good location?

 This looks like an amazing destination based on location and architecture alone, esp. the Ales Rathaus on the bridge! I like the sound of those smoky beers too. Great restaurant tips & tho I've heard of BYOB, never Bring Your Own Sausage!
