The Domberg (the Cathedral Hill) is one of Bamberg's most historic places and, since the founding of the diocese, the center of power of the Catholic Church in the region. History buffs will find testimonies from the Ottonian High Middle Ages to the sumptuous Renaissance period up to the 18th century. Its historic structure invites visitors to a journey through the ages.
Hints
Since the cathedral square is populated by tourists during the day during the summer months, it is advisable to start the tour in the early morning or late afternoon. The opening hours of the New Residence as access to the Bamberg Rose Garden should be observed.
