Experience Architecture: From the Marketplace to the City Glasses
Start at the Tourist Information, then proceed through the Amberg 'Ei' with the Gothic Town Hall, the late Gothic Basilica of St. Martin, and along the almost completely preserved city fortifications. The highlight: the City Glasses – the iconic water gate, whose reflection looks like glasses. Photo stop guaranteed, discovery experience included.
Cultural Heritage and Local History
Your guide combines facts with anecdotes: Electorate's glorious times, craft traditions, and the beer culture of the Upper Palatinate. You will hear about hidden monasteries, burgher houses, and the development from an iron trading post to a modern university city – all explained in a solid and vivid manner.
Insider Knowledge at Every Step
Between hidden courtyards and historic streets, the soul of Amberg reveals itself. Short distances, clear dramaturgy of the city tour, and sensory impressions make the tour a cultural enrichment – ideal for first-time visitors and returnees.
