Bamberg is a beautifully preserved old town situated on an open plain on the Regnitz River, 3km above its junction with the Main River. Like Rome, Bamberg was built on seven hills, each crowned by a church. Bamberg is also renowned for its excellent beer and currently home to 9 breweries. When visiting this interesting town, be sure to try rauchbier, its specialty smoked beer.
