A walk through centuries
The Bamberg Cathedral was initiated by the canonized imperial couple Henry II and Kunigunde, was rebuilt multiple times after fires, and has shaped the city on its seven hills to this day. The clear language of forms of the building, the Gothic additions, and the special location on the Cathedral Hill give the tour an almost solemn atmosphere.

Scultpures that write history
Highlights include the Bamberg Horseman, the imperial tomb by Tilman Riemenschneider, and the Mary altar carved by Veit Stoß. The tour makes visible why the Cathedral is regarded as one of the most significant attractions of German art history and why the mysterious horseman continues to fascinate visitors from all over the world.

The cloister as a quiet treasure room
Through the Gothic cloister, the tour continues to the diocesan museum of the Archdiocese of Bamberg. There, high-quality sculptures and treasures await, such as the star mantle from the 11th century, the vestment of Pope Clement II, and the largest preserved Ottonian cross. This mixture of silence, contemplation, and art enjoyment makes the city tour a cultural enrichment with rare depth.
