Riding the brakers in a landlocked city - you'll love this! • Go from Amberg to find out about other great day-trips from Munich. It's 227 pages of up-to-the-minute travel intelligence and it can be yours as an eBook for less than the price of an Oktoberfest beer. There are plenty of cafes, bars and restaurants in the old town, especially around Marktplatz and Georgen Strasse.
The 'Brille once had portcullises which could be lowered when the city was attacked. Marktplatz still lives up to its name on Saturdays when produce and flower stalls fill the square. The USA kept an army barracks in Amberg until the 1990s. The city’s bloodiest day was August 24 ,1796 with the Battle of Amberg, a pivotal conflict in the French Revolutionary Wars. As well as the still standing city wall Amberg had a water-filled moat and about 100 defensive towers. It’s ancient, beautiful and there’s no way you’ve ever heard of it.

Oktoberfest 2022 dates
Touted as the world’s smallest hotel with only 56 square metres (63 sq. ft.) and two rooms for rent, the building has a particularly romantic heritage. Every city has its little surprises but I think Amberg’s Eh'häusl is one of the cutest I’ve found anywhere. To the left is the Catholic Frauenkirche , a former royal court church from the 15th century. It was built on the site of a synagogue that was demolished in the Middle Ages. Cross the river at the little bridge about half way between the 'Brille and the church and follow Schiffbrück Gasse as it curves right.
