Take a tour of Bamberg Old City Hall in Bamberg, Germany – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.

Bamberg's Old City Hall adorns the Regnitz river in Bavaria, Germany.

Surrounded on all sides by the Regnitz, the Old City Hall stands on a small island with two bridges which allow access from the town.

Its breathtaking frescoes help make this building an architectural tour de force and a wonder for visitors.

Legend has it that Bamberg's townspeople erected the Old City Hall in the Regnitz because the Bishop of Bamberg refused to allow them land on which to build.

Old City hall is merely one of Bamberg's charming and often marvelous medieval sites.

It serves as a bridge between the multiple styles of life of which Bamberg is composed; from the medieval to the present.
