    The opera house still retains its original architectural facilities and artistic style intact. It is one of the best-preserved Baroque buildings in Germany and even in Europe. It is also the only theater in the world where one can truly feel that serious opera, an art genre, was promoted as an artistic model during the period of autocratic rule.

    It really feels like Venice. Bamberg Little Venice is worthy of its name. For us, it feels like Jiangnan. Living by the water, of course there are no aunties washing clothes and vegetables. There are also cruise ships on the river, although they are a little expensive. When the weather is good, the shooting effect is very good. It is recommended to go early when there are fewer tourists. Residents are planting flowers on the balcony, it is beautiful
