We visited in winter, a lot of the statues and fountains were covered but it was still stunning. I imagine that in a few months the gardens and parklands would be wonderful. It is well worth a visit.

The “Fränkische Krone” (Franconian Crown) is one of the largest medieval castle buildings in Germany. Martin Luther lived within its walls in 1530. Today, internationally significant art collections are housed there.
This is the largest castle in Germany and really superb. Allow at least two hours for a visit. The route through the rooms is rather confusing but it is all very well done. The highlight is the renaissance art collection - really special. Also really good for glass, armour and cannons. And the exhibition of sledges is amazing! I recommend walking up from the park through the trees to really appreciate the castle on the hill. Nice café just outside the castle - not really a proper one inside.

From the 10th century onwards, this town became an important link with the Slav peoples, especially those of Poland and Pomerania. During its period of greatest prosperity, from the 12th century onwards, the architecture of Bamberg strongly influenced northern Germany and Hungary. In the late 18th century it was the centre of the Enlightenment in southern Germany, with eminent philosophers and writers such as Hegel and Hoffmann living there.
This beautiful UNESCO town has managed to maintain its medieval feel which makes for a very interesting walk I through the old town. The highlight for us was the walk along the river, over the bridge to the connecting buildings, view of little Venice and the jail and on to the Cathedral. The view of the Altstadt from the river is stunning! A speciality of this town is the smokey bacon flavoured beer which is an acquired taste! A lovely town to walk and explore!

Most beautiful Rathaus I've seen in Germany so far. Walls are so nice. Also the building in front of the water. Great spot for pictures. Didn't went inside it, heard there is a porcelain collection.
