Took a day trip to one of the oldest communities in Germany, the thousand year old city of Bamberg, by train. Bamberg is often described by many as the ‘dream city’ and has earned the nickname of the ‘Second Rome’. Its hilly landscape, medieval architecture, beautiful countryside, meandering Regnitz River, and towering church steeples all make it easy to see why. It is one of the few cities that were spared serious damage during the war. We went to visit the historic Dom (Cathedral) located across the river in the city. After exploring, we took a short break to drink hot chocolate and cappuccinos at a local coffee shop. We returned to Würzburg at night, and I took a lonely stroll throughout the city.
