Walk through a thousand years of rivalry, faith, and beer in one of Germany's best-preserved medieval cities. This self-guided audio tour of Bamberg covers 20 stops across the UNESCO-listed old town, from the merchants' river island to the bishops' cathedral hill, telling the story of two communities that shared one city but never stopped fighting over it. Start anytime, pause for a smoked beer, and go at your own pace.
