The cathedral, churches and monasteries, bridges, the narrow streets and squares with baroque facades and half-timbered houses come together to form a unique historic old town ensemble, to which Bamberg owes the title of UNESCO World Heritage Site. In the historic city center, numerous impressive sights are strung together, including the cathedral, the Alte Hofhaltung, Neue Residenz, Altes Rathaus and the row of houses known as "Little Venice". The historic fabric of Bamberg's old town with its more than 2,400 listed houses is still largely intact and therefore also makes Bamberg a historic work of art.

A highlight of your stay in Würzburg is a visit to the former residence of the Würzburg prince-bishops, built in the first half of the 18th century. The building combines different architectural styles, including German Baroque, French Classicism and the Viennese Imperial style. However, the residence is also an architectural delight from the inside. Three generations of artists were involved in its decoration. A worthy conclusion to your city tour is the view of the Käppele Fortress and the surrounding vineyards from the Old Main Bridge.

Frankfurt city tour/walk
Frankfurt, a city of contrasts: On the one hand, a business metropolis with an impressive skyscraper skyline; on the other, a city of Goethe and an idyllic location on the Main River. Located in the heart of Europe, the metropolis combines tradition and modernity, bustle and tranquility, but also trade and culture. The historic city center with its impressive half-timbered houses was rebuilt in 1986 according to the original plans. Frankfurt is not only the birthplace of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, but it is also home to the Imperial Cathedral and the Paulskirche, the cradle of German democracy. The city tour gives you a good overview of the most important sights and also includes a walk around the Römerberg. The Römer, the city's landmark and historic city hall, is still the seat of the Lord Mayor to this day and is particularly impressive for its striking facade.
Total duration: In total about 40 minutes walk, but it is also possible to wait in the bus.
