Underworld of Bamberg
The hills of Bamberg are undermined by an extensive tunnel-system, carved out as long as seven centuries ago. Food was stored down there and the Bamberg breweries lagered and matured their beer in these tunnels. Today, Schlenkerla is the last brewery to preserve this tradition. Discove the labyrinth in a tour offered by the Tourism Board.
Bamberger Symphonic Orchestra
After WWII, fate brought together some members of the Prague Symphonic Orchestra in Bamberg. They decided to continue their profession here and thereby founded the nowadays worldfamous Bamberg Symphonic Orchestra.
Annual First Tapping of Urbock
Fall is bockbeer time in Bamberg. Starting October, almost every weekend one of the breweries has the corresponding "First Tapping" - a festival, not just for residents of Bamberg. The Schlenkerla First Tapping always takes place on the first thursday in October - if this day happens to be the 3rd Oct. (holiday), the First Tapping is one week later.
