Bamberg, Germany

Bamberg punches far above its weight for a city of just 75,000 people: it has 11 breweries — more breweries per capita than any other city on earth — and is the world's undisputed capital of rauchbier (smoked beer). Brauerei Schlenkerla has been serving its iconic smoked Marzen from the same half-timbered tavern since 1678. Bamberg's entire historic centre, including its breweries, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
