Discover Bamberg through the Eyes of the Sams
A cheerful city tour takes families, film fans, and curious explorers to the original filming locations of the first Sams film in Bamberg. Between historic alleys, medieval architecture, and famous film locations, local history becomes an imaginative discovery experience.
Film History at Authentic Filming Locations
The cheeky Sams, Bruno Taschenbier, and the unmistakable film world come alive during the walk. The tour explains the background of the filming locations, showcases cinematic highlights, and reveals how Bamberg's historic old town became an impressive backdrop. Children will recognize familiar places more easily if they have seen the film The Sams beforehand.
Historic Setting Around the Cathedral Square
The meeting point is at the Old Courtyard at the Cathedral Square. From there, a tour lasting about two hours begins through the historic surroundings of the Bamberg Cathedral Hill. Twisting paths, historic buildings, and the special atmosphere of the UNESCO World Heritage site combine with stories from the film production to create a cultural enrichment for adults and children.
Well Prepared for the Journey
The tour takes place exclusively outdoors. Weather-appropriate clothing and sturdy footwear are therefore part of the suitable equipment. There are no toilets available on the route; the toilets in the Old Courtyard can be used before the start and cost 50 cents per person. Participation is at one's own risk. Parents, guardians, and supervisors are responsible for their children.
For Families and Groups
The city tour is suitable for both large and small Sams fans as well as for everyone who wishes to explore Bamberg off the beaten path. Group bookings are possible year-round by prior arrangement. Thus, the tour combines film nostalgia, children's culture, sights, and local knowledge into an extraordinary city experience.

In the Footsteps of the Sams, visitors can expect a family-friendly tour with historic sites, exciting film tricks, and plenty of imagination.
