Bamberg is a town in Bavaria, Germany. It is located in Upper Franconia on the river Regnitz, close to its confluence with the river Main.It extends over seven hills, each crowned by a beautiful church. This has led to Bamberg being called the "Franconian Rome", although a running joke among Bamberg's tour guides is to refer to Rome instead as the "Italian Bamberg".The old Town of Bamberg is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage, primarily because of its authentic medieval appearance. A thousand-year cultural and architectural site, it is a beautiful town with unforgettable small and winding alleys with picturesque views at almost every turn.
