If you're looking for some entertainment, go to the puppet theatre, with its charming productions of famous plays. Sound interesting? There's lots more besides!

Welcome to the Café Zafran in Bamberg

The name, “Café Zafran”, in Bamberg is slightly confusing as neither coffee nor cake is served here. Instead, you can expect to find Indian dishes here.
