Daytrip
Today
is essentially a free day. Bamberg offers many beer options and plenty
of worthwhile sites, churches and museums. Renting a bike is a great
way to explore even more brewery taps and beer gardens. Franconia
boasts hundreds of small private breweries reached by easy public
transportation links. No doubt visits will be made to local Bamberg
breweries as well. (B)
This
morning activity surrounding Fruhlingsfest will be happening all over
the city. We'll take a walking tour of the city's main areas to get
oriented. This afternoon is free to begin checking out the festival
and living large in a big beer tent. (B)
