Bamberg's old town is like a synthesis of the arts, on a par with Florence's old town, the Great Wall of China and other important sites due to its density of architectural and historical treasures. If you want to get an overview of this density of sights, the World Heritage Visitor Centre is the right place for you. Here, the special features of the city are explained and embedded in the international UNESCO context.
