Travelling to Bamberg

BAMBERG Tourismus & Kongress Service, Grafik: Kobold Layout, Bamberg

Located in Northern Bavaria, it is easy to travel to and from Bamberg using many different means of transport. For those travelling by car, the city can be reached from all directions via the A70 and A73 motorways.

Official website of the city of Bamberg

Bamberg's railway station is also a stop on the ICE line between Munich and Berlin, which means that both cities can be reached without changing trains. Nuremberg, Bavaria's second largest city, is approximately 45 minutes away by S-Bahn, and its Nuremberg's international airport provides flights to destinations worldwide.

Using their semester ticket, students can travel throughout the city and Bamberg’s administrative district by bus and regional train. Additionally, the VGN Nuremberg network (which includes Bamberg) provides the opportunity to use one ticket to travel extensively throughout the Franconian region; from Zapfendorf to Neumarkt i. d. Oberpfalz, or from Bayreuth to Rothenburg o. d. Tauber, and all stops in between.

Travel Within Bamberg

Distances within Bamberg are short, and there is an excellent network of bicycle paths that make having a car unnecessary for city travel.

Bamberg's public services (Stadtwerke Bamberg) provide bus transport throughout the city and surrounding towns.

Car sharing

Car sharing is an alternative to public transport. To take advantage of car sharing you can become a member of a club by paying the membership fee. In addition to a deposit, there are fees for the amount of time a car is used.
