This public tour is an impressive discovery experience in the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage site of Bamberg. In 90 minutes, the Cathedral, the Cathedral Treasury, and the medieval cloister reveal themselves as a vibrant stage of European art history and religious culture.
A Journey Through Centuries
The path leads into the clear architecture of Bamberg Cathedral, whose current form emerged after several fires between 1200 and 1237.
