Amberg is a town in Bavaria, Germany. It is located in Oberpfalz ("Upper Palatinate"), roughly half way between Regensburg and Bayreuth.

A defining feature of the town is the Stadtbrille - a bridge, originally a part of the city fortifications, whose arches reflected on the river waters resemble a pair of glasses.
Other tourist attractions in Amberg include:

• The Marktplatz (Market Square), which contains the Gothic Town Hall (built in 1358) and the late-Gothic Pfarrkirche St Martin
  
• The Neues Schloß (New Palace), the former residence of the counts of the Rhennish Palatinate, built at the beginning of the 15th century and renovated in 1603 
  
• A well-preserved section of the medieval city walls and gates
  
• The baroque Franciscan monastery on the Mariahilfberg hill above the city. The Mariahilfberg (literally: Maria-Help-Mount) was given its name during the bubonic plague in the Thirty Years' War in 1633/4 when the locals beseeched the Virgin Mary to rid them of the plague
  
• St. Martin's Basilica
