11 places in Amberg that you have to see

Look forward to a varied tour through the charming town of Amberg! The journey begins with a dash of romance and myth-making as you discover the story behind an old relief on a corner house. You follow in the footsteps of Jean-Marc Gaillard's creative and symbolic "rubber boat" on the banks of the Vils, which artfully highlights the importance of air. Explore the historical significance of Ruprecht von der Pfalz and his connection to Amberg, while imposing statues bring his royal history to life.

Be fascinated by the melancholic beauty of the neglected Frauenkirche and then immerse yourself in the legacy of Josef Friedrich Schmidt, the creator of the legendary game "Mensch ärgere dich nicht". Enjoy a well-earned break in what is probably the smallest café in Europe and let yourself be enchanted by the warm hospitality.

The tour continues to Amberg's industrial history at the Erzberg, where the Powder Tower is a reminder of the violent days of mining. Experience the city's rebellious past with the "Amberg Riot" and visit the extraordinary "death cell" of the former prison, now the Hotel Fronfeste.

Finally, stroll through the picturesque Batteriegasse and enjoy a devilishly good drink in the mystical "Teufelsbäck" bar. Last but not least, discover the unmistakable blend of history, culture and a touch of magic in Amberg!
