Information about Bamberg, Germany (Click to view)
Bamberg is located in northern Bavaria and is considered one of the most romantic of German cities. It is a thousand-year cultural and architectural site consisting of 2,300 buildings that is lively and multifaceted and was declared World Heritage by UNESCO. Full of small and winding alleys and tranquil areas along the rives and in the many parks, Bamberg is a city with an original character and a very special atmosphere.
10% of the population of 100,000 attends University, and a youthful atmosphere can be felt all over the town, offering many bars, pubs and restaurants and incidentally the highest concentration of beer breweries in the world! For culture enthusiasts there are music, theater and cinema performances every day of the year.
Germany is a historical yet modern country, split into sharply defined regions. Each region maintains its distinctive character with its own dialect, traditional dress and foods. Germany’s many modern cities stem from the time when it consisted of countless small states. North Germany has the delightful old seafaring ports, east is the beautiful cultural centers and south is the alluring Black Forest and those boisterous Bavarian beer halls. Along the Rhine and Moselle Rivers are picturesque castles and steep, terraced vineyards. From Frankfurt to Bremen runs a trail of villages that helped inspire the Grimm Brother’s fairy tales.
Participants: Most students are American, Italian, Spanish, British, and Japanese.
