With the boat through Amberg: Medieval times, city glasses, and Vils romance
This city tour on the water combines local history with serene natural idyll: On a traditional boat, you glide along the Vils, discover the nearly completely preserved city wall, the famous city glasses, and panoramic views of the old town – a discovery experience with cultural enrichment.
Authentic river perspective: Architecture and history to touch
From the dock at the ship bridge, the route leads through the old town towards Drahthammerwiese and back again. The boat, once a freight barge for iron and salt, brings to life Amberg's trade routes. Wall sections, bridge arches, and gables reflect in the water – a picture book of local history.
City tour on the water: Duration, rhythm, mood
The round trip takes about 60 minutes, and one-way trips are around 30 minutes. Gliding peacefully, with expert guidance, creates a slowed-down sightseeing experience. The view of the city glasses and old town reveals hidden places and an authentic atmosphere that is hardly accessible on foot.
