Bamberg traces its history to the 9th century, when its name came from nearby Babenberch castle. Today, this Upper Franconian town in Bavaria stands along the Regnitz near the Main, drawing visitors to its medieval streets and roughly 2,400 timber-framed houses. Recognised as one of Germany’s most beautiful towns, its old town has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1993.
