Founded in 902, Bamberg remains a medieval-looking city known for its symphony orchestra and Rauchbier, specially smoked beer. The city’s winding streets are filled with baroque houses and home to its 11th-century cathedral of the Holy Roman Emperor Heinrich II, which houses his tomb and that of Pope Clement II. Bamberg is especially noted for its Altes Rathaus, or Old Town Hall, situated on a twin-arched bridge over the Regnitz River, and for the old bishop’s houses: the 16th-century Alte Hofhaltung (Old Court) and 17th-century Neue Residenz.
