Rosengartenserenaden 2027 in Bamberg: Classical Concerts in the Rose Garden of the New Residence

Welcome to the Rosengartenserenaden 2027 in Bamberg

Since 1982, the baroque rose garden of the New Residence has turned into an atmospheric open air stage on Bamberg summer evenings. From late June to mid September, the Rosengartenserenaden invite guests to Saturday evening chamber music, surrounded by rose beds, historic sculptures and a view over the old town.

Visitor Tips: Travel and Accommodation in Bamberg

• Domplatz sits right in the heart of Bamberg's old town, with very limited parking near the rose garden, so arriving on foot or by bicycle is worthwhile
• A light jacket is a good idea for the cooler evening air in the garden
• As a World Heritage city, Bamberg is popular in summer, so booking accommodation early is advisable
• Since seating in the rose garden is limited, buying tickets through BVD ahead of time is recommended
