North of Bavaria lies the city of Bamberg, where you’ll be transported back in time to a bygone past in its medieval old town. This UNESCO protected district is the site of buildings that you won’t see in many other parts of the Germany or even Europe, including a row of river side houses from the 17th to 18th centuries, a time when the houses were still constructed with timber. Meanwhile, the stunning Bamberg Cathedral was constructed in the 13th century in the beautiful Romanesque architectural style and encloses the sacred tomb of Pope Clement II. Bamberg is also well known for its hilly landscape, presided over by a church at every of its seven major summits. These features have led to Bamberg being dubbed the “Franconian Rome,” although some may say with tongue in cheek that Rome is the “Italian Bamberg,” especially the locals. With so much to see in Bamberg, we’ve curated a list of centrally located Airbnb vacation rentals that will give you a great base to start your adventure.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on February 01, 2024.

1. Family-friendly penthouse with a balcony (from USD 117)

This penthouse apartment is excellent for persons who desire a private and safe environment while still having a stunning view of the surrounding area from the private balcony. The building has a video monitoring system for visitors’ protection and security.

You are welcome to bring your children to this place since facilities are provided to ensure their comfort, including a crib, a standalone high chair, a changing table, a baby monitor, and board games. Furthermore, a family movie night on the 80-inch TV with sound systems is a great option for family time while on vacation.
