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.

An impressive, massive cathedral. It is very tall and voluminous, and looks very old. There were a lot of people near the entrance, so we didn't go inside.

Beautiful Cathedral. Entry is free, although we were told by others afterwards that it was closed off for a period of time (maybe due to the choir practicing). When you go through the entryway there is the tomb of Pope Clement II directly to the left side. Be sure to look through the bars behind his tomb to see the below-ground chapel. When you enter the main part of the cathedral, be sure to check out the pipe organ on the right hand side that starts part ways up the wall.

Loved it. Bamberg is a magical place in Germany. It was cold when we went but still amazing we had a wonderful walk in the old part of the cathedral. You can find nice coffee shops with amazing cakes. Really enjoyed it. I recomand all turist that loves to explore cities cause is very nice.

The Bamberg Cathedral (Bamberger Dom) is an absolutely beautiful cathedral that is rich with history and architectural stunning detail. Exploring the interior is a fantastic experience on its own, but we were lucky enough to be treated to some incredible live organ music echoing through the massive space while we walked around, which made the atmosphere truly magical. There is so much to look at, but whatever you do, don't miss the famous guy on the horse (the Bamberg Horseman) located just inside to the left. It is a peaceful, awe-inspiring stop that you definitely need to add to your itinerary!

This church I visited in 2004 can be seen from the city center as the largest one on the very top of the hill with 2 green shiny tower rooftops, standing tall of many buildings in its old gothic artistry. Its a hallmark of the city and when shown in photos is actually a hallmark to identify Bamberg in Bavaria. Other churches can be visited on the way up the hills. This is probably ONE of the oldest gothic churches in the area. Some famous persons are buried here. Church dates to the 1000s and Sculptures and art date to the 1300s and older and gloriously look so. The inside is very dark and for lack of better description has many darker corners throughout. It is a mix of woodwork and stonework wherever you go. Mass is still celebrated here. Unfortunately, when I visited I was told most Catholic churches are nearly empty in attendance in Germany, but visitors do come. Maybe this has changed over the years. It is highly visited with lots of documentation on every art piece and history inside and outside. I recommend getting a tour or trying several different tours of the place to enjoy its full appeal and experience. I recommend to taxi up halfway or hike with a full day or half day+

The cathedral is large and is located across from the New Residence. Compared to other cathedrals and given its reputation, Bamberg Cathedral is not as magnificent as one might expect. What is interesting, however, is that there is another smaller chapel on a lower, open level. In terms of its architecture, then, it is quite unique.

An impressive and majestic cathedral with beautiful Romanesque architecture. The building is truly remarkable, both outside and inside, with a very peaceful and spiritual atmosphere. The cathedral dates back to the 13th century and holds important historical treasures, including the famous Bamberg Horseman statue and the tomb of Emperor Henry II and Empress Kunigunde. It’s one of the most important landmarks in Bamberg and definitely worth visiting while exploring the old town.

This early 11th century Romanesque / Gothic architecture cathedral holds impressive sights such as Bamberg Horseman, Sculptures of the King Heinrich II and his queen Kunigund framing Adamspforte ( Adam's Gate ). It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site located on top of a hill opposite the New Residence, an impressive Baroque palace at Domplatz, the Cathedral Square in Bamberg. We went there after New Year and had the chance to see the beautifully decorated Christmas trees and the crib inside. The entrance is free.
