Beer Tour a Must for Beer Lovers

If you are a beer lover, Bamberg is an absolute must during your travels to Germany. It is well worth the stop as it happens to be one of the most beautiful and well preserved towns. Go to the local tourism office and ask about the self guided beer tours. For 20 Euros, you get a backpack, ten beer coasters from local breweries, a map, and five coupons for five half liters of beer at five different brewery stops. There is a different beer tour on each side of the river, so you could do one side one day, and the other side the next day. The great thing is because it's self guided you can go at your own pace, see historic sites along the way which are described and pointed out in your map, and drink some of the best beer you'll ever have the pleasure of drinking, including Bamberg's famous smoke beer. Highly recommend.
