We know travelling to a new city can be both exciting and overwhelming. So to give you the easiest and breeziest experience, here is a rapid fire questions and answers page before you deep dive onto all aspects of visiting Bamberg and seeing all the sights.
Remember, though, you DON’T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING. Even if you see our top 10 sights, and must dos, etc. These are places we love raving about and we thoroughly believe you’d enjoy. But at the end of the day, we want you to have the most memorable experience and if it means taking it slow for a day and not rushing through all the sights in Bamberg, then that’s ok. You can always visit us again. We’d love to have you back.
And if you really feel overwhelmed or just want to have a casual chat with Annemarie herself to discuss your travel plans for Bamberg and get tips on how to make the most of your visit, how to best realize your ideas and travel goals in a way that won’t stress you out or blow your budget, or just pick her brain, you can book her for a private travel counselling session.
Get in touch here for questions or to book Annemarie.
Perfect Timing
Bamberg is prettiest in the warmer months when the sun is out, the days are mild. High season is in July and August with plenty of summer events and local holidays. If you want to avoid the crowds and enjoy good weather, come in early June.
If you don’t just want to sightsee Bamberg but enjoy local culture and live events, visit for Sandkerwa (city fair), the Beer Week (Bockbieranstich) Europe’s largest (and free) Jazz and Blues Festival, Christmas and smaller events like the Onion Festival and Weltkulturerbelauf (a marathon). Read more about details here.
Bamberg offers mild temperate climate.
You can enjoy the least amount of rainfall in April and the most in December. Though, you will not likely experience much snow at all.
July and August are the month with warmest temperatures, though some days in October can experience extraordinarily warm and sunny days.
