The World Heritage Visitor Centre

The exhibition consists – like the old town of Bamberg – of three parts; one for each historic settlement centre. In a lively way, the exhibition provides information about the City on the Hills with its Domburg (former fortress of the Babenberg dukes), the Island District with its mills and private mansions and the Market Gardeners‘ District with its urban horticulture.

Building models illustrate medieval and baroque architecture. Audio stations, films and digital applications, a seed-wheel and an interactive model of the old town of Bamberg invite visitors to familiarize themselves with the site. Special places in the urban surroundings, which represent the outstanding universal value of Bamberg, are referred to in the exhibition to encourage further explorations of the site.

Guided Tours of the Exhibition

Gain deeper insights into the exhibition's concept with a trained guide who will explain the unique features of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Old Town of Bamberg." You can choose between a guided tour of the visitor center or combine the exhibition with a walking tour of the Old Town.
