Hire a car in Bamberg with Hertz
The East German town of Bamberg lies just 63km North of Nuremberg on the river Regnitz, close to its confluence with the Main. In 17 Henry II, Duke of Bavaria, became king and tried to make Bamberg the seat of the Bishopric, intending it to become a 'second Rome'.
Bamberg had a significant architectural influence throughout central Europe from the 11th century onwards, with its medieval and baroque styling evident throughout much of Germany and Hungary. Hiring a car in Bamberg allows you to see all of its stunning architecture, as well as visiting its other attractions.
With so much impressive architecture, no trip to Bamberg would be complete without visiting its Cathedral. Having been rebuilt three times, the current cathedral takes its inspiration from both Romanesque and Gothic styles. A tour around the Cathedral will leave you speechless.
If you''d like to learn more about the city and its heritage you can visit the Historical Museum in the Old Court. Featuring exhibitions such as The Bamberger Idols and '100 Masterpieces' by Lucas Cranach, Pieter Breughel & Otto Modersohn, it will give you a complete look inside what life has been like in the town throughout the ages.
If you fancy a slice of the big city life, Nuremberg is only 63km south of Bamberg on the A73. Hiring a car in Bamberg to get there couldn''t be easier thanks to our handy location on Jaeckstrasse in the town centre.
Nuremberg has an eclectic mix of old and new to suit all visitors. Whether it's browsing the various museums on offer, including that of their own Albrecht Dürer, or heading out for some fine food, Nuremberg is sure to have something to offer. For music lovers you could also head to 'Rock in the Park', Nuremberg's annual music festival.
