Experience Amberg: Historical City Tour through the Old Town
Discover the medieval old town of Amberg on a compact city tour. Certified guides open doors to nearly 1000 years of local history, telling tales of architecture, fates, and the authentic atmosphere along the Vils. A discovery experience full of cultural enrichment.
Between City Wall and City Glasses
Starting from Hallplatz, the city tour leads through narrow alleys, past the almost completely preserved city wall. At the Water Gate City Glasses, experience history to touch: architectural details, craft signs, and facades reveal wealth, piety, and urban self-assertion.
Churches, Squares, Stories
In front of St. Martin, high Gothic architecture unfolds in a small space. Squares and houses tell stories of guilds, trade, and richly decorated townhouses. The guides connect historical contexts with lively anecdotes – a city tour with clear orientation points and sensory impressions.
Vils, Air Art, and Life Feelings
The Vils shapes the skyline as a vital artery. In the old town, lovingly restored houses meet modern air art – an interplay of tradition and present that welcomes visitors with an authentic atmosphere.
