Shopping

The primary shopping district in Bamberg is by the cathedral, where you will find stores of all kinds, including more than a dozen antiques shops and numerous galleries. An antiques store that has it all, Sebok, Untere Königstrasse 21 (tel. 0951/202593), offers paintings, books, furniture, fine jewelry, silver, glass, toys, watches, clocks, and more. Auctions are held every 2 months, with the summer auction falling in July. Manger, Dominikanerstrasse 7 (tel. 0951/23454), is a kitschy souvenir shop. If you're interested in local ceramics, go to Topferladen, Untere Brücke 1 (tel. 0951/56913), where you'll find ceramic candleholders, cups, dinnerware, vases, and garden statuary.
