Bamberg
We visited Bamberg two days prior to my birthday. It is a Bavarian town honoured with UNESCO for its authentic medieval appearance. It is also called Bavaria Rome as it has seven hills around. It took half hour to 45 minutes by train from Nürnberg to Bamberg. It's quite some distance to walk to the town centre. Never mind, the buildings on the way are beautiful.
