Amberg like out of a picture book: Your historical city tour through the old town
Explore Amberg's nearly completely preserved old town on a compact city tour. Certified tour guides from the Tourist Information lead to masterpieces of architecture, narrate lively local history, and reveal hidden places and authentic atmosphere – a discovery experience in 90 minutes.
Architecture to touch: City wall, city glasses, marketplace
From Hallplatz, we go through alleys and squares to landmarks such as the city glasses, the marketplace with the town hall, and the parish church of St. Martin. The route makes the cultural heritage of the city of Vils tangible and connects epochs, architectural styles, and dramatic fates of the people behind them.
Insider knowledge at every step
Your guide explains historical connections precisely: how trade, craft, and faith shaped Amberg, why the medieval fortification is so unique, and which details on façades tell whole chapters of the city's history.
Practically planned: compact, well-founded, in any weather
The city tour lasts about 90 minutes, starts at the Tourist Information (Hallplatz 2) and takes place in any weather. Wear comfortable shoes – cobblestones and short inclines are part of the experience of an old town tour.
