Bamberg is in Bayern, in the south, the country's industrial powerhouse around Munich and Stuttgart with the Alps and the Black Forest on the doorstep; winters bring snow and the occasional warm Föhn wind, summers are the warmest in Germany, and living costs are the highest. Getting around Bamberg is easiest by U-Bahn, S-Bahn, tram and bus, all covered by the Deutschlandticket that is valid on local and regional transport across Bayern and beyond; parking in city centres is scarce and either paid or limited by Parkscheibe, so public transport or a bike is usually quicker than driving.

A beautiful historic complex with charming half-timbered buildings and a lovely courtyard. The architecture feels very authentic and gives a glimpse into Bamberg’s medieval past. It’s a wonderful place to walk around, admire the details, and soak in the historic atmosphere.

The Alte Hofhaltung is an absolute must-see for anyone interested in medieval and Renaissance architecture. A former episcopal palace offers a breathtaking inner courtyard surrounded by picturesque half-timbered houses and a magnificent Renaissance gate. The courtyard also serves as the setting for open-air concerts and other events.

Old Court was built in 1007 on the site of a fort used by Henry II as a residence. By 16th century it was replaced by current Renaissance building under Bishop of Wurtzburg. Courtyard is open to the public from 9am to sunset. Nice example of half-timbered houses architecture. There are free restrooms in the courtyard.

Another classical medieval era building. Worth a visit if you love old historic buildings and architecture. Built in 16th century, still carries the fragments of history with a cobblestone courtyard and a large half-timbered building decorated with big baskets of blooming flowered. Standing there will definitely make you feel going back in time. A part of the movie Three Musketeers was filmed here in this courtyard. Located next to Bamberg cathedral and New residence so, you cannot miss this place.

Beautiful medieval yard with eye-catching exterior of half-timbered houses. It is free to visit and wander around but I did not particularly enjoy my time here - there was a huge podium built in the middle of the courtyard blocking the views, also many cars were parked here, huge trash cans and temporary construction housing were visible - making it less attractive than I could have been. I understand that might have been there only due to festivities. Nevertheless I did enjoy the stunning front façade of a building that is currently housing the historical museum (can be entered for a fee) and the views of the cathedrals towers. There are some interesting engravings on the front gate to the court yard that are not to be missed. Public toilets are available at the premises. Visited in July 2022.
