Judenstraße is a picturesque cobblestone alley that offers visitors a glimpse into Bamberg's complex history. In recent years, plaques have been installed along the street, commemorating the Jewish past and marking the locations of former synagogues and other significant buildings.

A very nice cellar. With its old trees and view over the city, it's always a highlight. Besides the beer, the food is also very good.
