Apartment with kitchen & space
Own kitchen for kids' meals, separate sleeping area, travel cot on request (H4 old-town maisonette): our holiday apartments are made for families – more comfortable than a hotel room.
Everything on foot, no car needed
The old town is compact and largely pedestrianised. Playgrounds, parks and sights are walkable – stress-free with kids, no constant parking hunt.
Greenery and water in the middle
The Hain park with playgrounds, lawns and a small animal enclosure is close by, and the Regnitz at Little Venice invites gondola rides – nature and city side by side.
What to do in Bamberg with kids
The Hain (Luitpoldhain) is Bamberg's large city park on the Regnitz – with playgrounds, wide lawns, a small animal enclosure and the Hainbad open-air pool in summer. A classic for a relaxed family day in the green, just minutes from the centre.
At Little Venice you can take gondola rides on the Regnitz – a little adventure for kids right in the city. On rainy days, museums are a good option, such as the Natural History Museum with its historic bird hall. And of course the car-free old town with ice-cream parlours and bakeries is lovely to stroll.
Family-friendly accommodation
With kids, a holiday apartment is far nicer than a hotel room: own kitchen for breakfast and kids' meals, more space and a separate sleeping area. The H4 old-town maisonette offers space for up to 4 guests over two floors, a private roof terrace and a travel cot on request. The TB 5 holiday apartment also has an underground parking space – handy if you arrive with car and luggage.

Practical tips for getting there
Bamberg is an ICE stop – arriving by train is often more relaxed with kids than by car. Note: the old town has some cobblestones, so a sturdy stroller or a carrier helps. If you come by car, use a car park at the edge of the old town or the TB 5 underground garage.
