Wenn man gerne Bilder von Bamberg und Persönlichkeiten von Bamberg anschauen möchte, ist man dort genau richtig. Sehr gut beschrieben. Hat mir Spass gemacht. Dauert ca. 2 Stunden.

Hier gibt es aktuell ein sehr schöne Ausstellung über die jüdische Geschichte in Franken. Einen Stern Abzug gibt es für die sehr gestresste und verplante Führung.

War sehr interessant
