Franconia’s cities are a living canvas where history and culture blend into a rich spectrum of color. In Bamberg, for example, warm ochre facades, red-tiled roofs, and the pastel tones of baroque buildings line narrow alleys and canal-side promenades, earning the city its nickname “Little Venice.” The half-timbered houses seem to tell their own stories, with dark wooden beams cutting through white plaster-like bold brushstrokes.
