Is the best way to get to Bamberg University from the U.S to fly to Munich and then take the train to Bamberg?
No big difference if you fly into Munich (MUC) or Frankfurt (FRA). DB timetable reiseauskunft.bahn.de/bin/qu... From: MUC From: FRA To: Bamberg Check if you can get from your airline a Rail&Fly ticket. This will be the best deal for the train part. bahn.de/p/view/mdb/pv/mobili...

If you do fly into Munich, you will be able to get a Laender ticket (Bayern) from Munich to Bamberg for approx 20 euro. The regular fare is substantially higher, but since both Munich and Bamberg are in Bavaria, you would do well to take advantage of the Laender. Buy it through the ticket machine at the station and you will save a couple more euros.

The length of journey is similar from either Frankfurt or Munich, so I think it really depends on what airfares you can get. The Laender tickets are excellent, but do mean you can only travel on regional trains. You can get excellent online advance deals from bahn.de for either journey. You will receive an eticket to print out (or they will send you the tickets for an additional fee). You present the eticket to the guard with the card you used to pay (absolutely essential to take the same card). A very efficient system. The only disadvantage is that this ties you to one specific train, so allow plenty of time between landing and train departure to allow for potential delays. You will pay more for your ticket if you use the ticket office. Use the ticket machines instead: they have English language options. Use the bahn.de link given above to investigate train times and online discount fares from both airports (you'll have to make at least one change on any departure, I think).

This may not be of much help but I found quite a good litle supermarket/deli/bakery quite near the Luitpoldbruecke... more
