The Altes Rathous is really a historic wonder. Forgetting its age for a moment, the building itself is full of charming details and interesting focal points. Never mind that it's located in the center of the river, the house is a definite must see in Bamberg and someplace that you should spend 1/2 hour just soaking the details in.

The city hall was built on an island in the river. The towns folks wanted a new city hall but the Bishop didn't want to give them any land to build it on so they built an island in the middle of the river and built the city hall there. It is an interesting building with paintings on both sides along the river.

Definitely a must-see if you are visiting Bamberg! The Altes Rathaus is one of the main landmarks of this beautiful city. Go early in the morning to get clear views or in the evening - at this time of day it easily feels like you've gone back in time.

Really picturesque town hall built right in the midst of the river. We found it fascinating that below the town hall, there were kayaking classes being held since the currents are very fast right there. The town hall building itself is painted with some 3D figures attached.

Must be one of the most photographed buildings in Germany and even on a rainy day it's super-cute. The whole area is well worth a good wander. Today with the rain and the huge amounts of rushing water in the river no doubt a different experience from a sunny day, but still worth doing.

This building is probably one of the most iconic photo spots in Germany. It has an amazing half-timbered house in front and a two-story town hall with colorful frescoes on either side built on a tiny island in the middle of the Regnitz River. You can get a great photo from the Geyerswörthsteg bridge in front of the half-timbered building.

This iconic buildng is one of the most beautiful Town Hall I have ever seen. It’s located near the Obere Brücke, the Upper bridge over the Regnitz River. It’s a fairy-tale house with old colourful frescoes on either side. I think this amazing building and the half-timbered house is a must-see site! Don’t miss it!

Great day spent strolling around this stunning German town. Easy walk from the station to see all the key sites. The river area is both stunning and historical. A beautiful place on what luckily for me was a beautiful day.
