Discovering the World Heritage City of Bamberg in the winter months has a charm of its own.
The Bamberg Christmas Market still has a familiar atmosphere and is no mass event.
Bamberg's popular "Route of Nativity Scenes" links about 35 churches, museums, public buildings and places with a series of remarkably diverse Christmas cribs and creates a uniquely festive atmosphere as Christmas approaches.
Most of these churches and museums are of intrinsic interest in themselves, but following the „golden thread“ of the trail is a pleasant way of seeking that increasingly elusive „spirit of Christmas“.
