Amberg from the Water: Glide Through the Old Town on a Historic Boat
This relaxing city tour on the Vils shows Amberg from the front row. On a traditional boat, you will experience local history up close, glide under the iconic city glasses, and enjoy authentic old town atmosphere between city walls, gable houses, and towers.
Discovery Experience on Medieval Transportation Routes

The start and end points are at the landing stage Schiffbrücke in Schiffgasse. The round trip lasts about 60 minutes, goes through the old town, passes the city glasses, and skirts the Vils meadows heading towards the former state garden exhibition grounds – history and nature in a harmonious interplay.
