30th anniversary of Bamberg‘s UNESCO World Heritage title
The old town of Bamberg was inscribed on the list of World Heritage Sites on December 11, 1993. Reason enough to celebrate this 30th anniversary in style in the year 2023
It was Bamberg‘s intact old town with its authentic and original building ensemble and its structural and functional continuity over the centuries that supported the appointment. Another reason was the influence Bamberg’s medieval and baroque architecture had on other cities elsewhere in Europe. Today, Bamberg is a lively town with a fascinating range of sights, culture, arts, culinary delights and experiences for every age and taste.
A varied programme will be at the heart of the celebrations in 2023 with lots to do and see for guests and inhabitants alike.
