State of affairs in Bamberg

Hi, I wrote quite extensively on this topic below... "State of affairs in Bayern". Long story short, most places in Bamberg are open again, even some of the late night bars (though only until 11pm) - Rotenschild plans to open which surprises (and pleases) me. If you're mainly looking to visit country breweries, again, most are open, though certain ones, like Heckel in Waischenfeld, are too small so are closed. The Heckel beer is actually on draft in Pelikan, though it's not the same, far from it. Now that the measures have been relaxed further, the experience is almost like normal. Of course, if you want to visit Brauerei Spezial at 6pm on a weekday evening, you will find it hard to get a seat. 

Of course, registration, distancing and masks are obligatory. What I cannot comment on is what reception you might recieve if you are travelling from Italy (I'm assuming by your name). There have been reports of tourists from the Goettesloh region of Germany (site of major recent outbreak) being asked to leave northern German tourist areas. Knowing how some of the people in Franconia are, I just wanted to mention that. Of course you are permitted to be here, it's just attitudes might not be as friendly as before (if they were). It is NOT from any experience and some British friends of mine are visiting from the UK in August and I have said the same to them. 

My advice would be to keep a low profile and enjoy everything you can!
