Discovering Amberg from the Water: The Vils Boat Trip

Experience Amberg from a unique perspective: During this one-hour boat trip, you will glide along the Vils on a traditional wooden boat – past the city wall, towers, and the famous city glasses. A city tour from the water that combines cultural enrichment and discovery experience.

Historical Waterways, Lively Stories

The Vils has been the lifeblood and transport route of the city for centuries. Your guide provides in-depth knowledge of local history, shows hidden spots along the banks, and connects architectural details with interesting anecdotes. History to touch – authentic and close.

Route and Process: Ship Bridge to Old Town Panorama

The start and end point are at the landing site Ship Bridge in Ship Street. The flat wooden boat travels along the old town without stopping at Drahthammerwiese. This allows for more time for views, photo opportunities, and expert explanations of sights.
