Combined Explorer Ticket "Bus & Dom"

At our stop Domplatz  you are already in the center where it all happens. The "Alte Hofhaltung" ensemble, the Baroque building "Neue Residenz and the Bamberg Cathedral with its striking four towers. 

The informative, one-hour lasting tour through the cathedral teaches you about the cathedral, the "Bamberger Reiter" (rider of Bamaberg), the graves of the imperial couple and also the only pope's grave north of the Alps. 

Right next to the cathedral you will find in the old "Kapitelshaus" the "Diözesanmuseum" (cathedral treasury), where in addition to numerous paintings, golden vessels of the cathedral treasury or equipment of the cathedral of ancient times can be seen. The most prominent exhibits are the "Sternenmantel " (star coat) of Emperor Henry II. or robes of his wife Kunigunde. 

Our recommendation: Walk a few steps up the "Domberg" (Cathedral Hill) to the "Bischofspalais" (Bishop's Palace), the old "Missionshaus" and the picturesque upper gate - the so-called "Torschuster" - the "Jakobskirche" (Jacob's Church), which is said to having been reconstructed to resemble the old cathedral errected by Emperor Henry. An idyllic location away from the tourist trails. 

All this, you can experience with your BambergBus day ticket and enjoy your city tour aboard the convertible sightseeing bus.
