It is best to visit early in the morning. This is when you have the best view of all the sights. It is also possible to stop and look without disturbing anyone.

Certainly the most impressive place in Bamberg, with architectural styles from all eras from Romanesque to Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and Rococo. This place breathes history from every pore. The four-towered imperial cathedral is the heart of the city and the most important work of art in the surrounding area and dates back to the church foundation of Henry II, who founded the diocese of Bamberg in 1007. Today's cathedral dates back to 1237. The Old Court with its unique inner courtyard adjoins the cathedral and heralds the Renaissance era of the 16th century. The cathedral building hut and the historical museum are located here today. On the other side is the Diocesan Museum, equipped with the famous imperial cloaks and the papal regalia of Pope Clement II. Opposite on the other side of the cathedral square is the New Residence with the magnificent imperial hall and the state rooms. The same building houses the State Library, home to two world document heritage sites. Source: https://www.bamberg.info/poi/domplatz-5017/

The Geyerswörthsteg offers one of the most beautiful views of the city. On one side you have a view of the Old Town Hall, on the other side you can see the preserved mills of Bamberg. There were once three mill districts in Bamberg. The fish mills no longer stand today, only the lower and upper mills remain. The milling industry in Bamberg was mentioned in writing as early as 973, and the Lower Mills with the Brudermühle have certainly existed at this location since the 11th century. Only flour was rarely ground here; in a Catholic city like Bamberg, vegetable oils were also in demand. Until the 18th century, people were not allowed to consume animal fats, including butter, during the fasting periods before Easter and Christmas. Baking and cooking were only done with oil. In later times, the mills were also used to generate electricity or as grinding mills. Bamberg companies – such as Rupp + Hubrach – had their beginnings here....

From the Geyerwörthsteg you have a fantastic view of the old town hall of Bamberg. This is known everywhere and therefore both bridges are quite full during the day. Tour groups in particular are almost always positioned in such a way that it is difficult to get past. Tip: here early in the day along. Then things will be a little quieter here.

Adjacent to the old town hall, the heart of the world heritage site in Bamberg, the lower bridge crosses the Regnitz. From the original private bridge there is a beautiful view of the river banks and the half-timbered houses of the fishing settlement that Maximilian II called "Little Venice".
