Project launch
June 2025
Children and young people in Bamberg are well looked after and entertained during the vacation season. Parents can easily find information about the vacation offers and can book them without complications. There are discounts for low-income and large households so that no one is left out. This means that parents can go to work during the school vacations with peace of mind.
The vacation portal can be used both via an online platform in the browser and as a native app. It is also used to display the digital vacation pass.
The vacation portal bundles vacation offers from the city and district of Bamberg. These can be filtered, for example, according to the age group of the children, the event location or the type of activity. The desired vacation offers or the vacation pass can be booked and managed directly with just one access. Important information and required proof can also be stored in your own account.
„As project manager, I am delighted with how our new vacation portal and the vacation pass app are making life easier for families in Bamberg: all offers are centrally bundled and can be booked with just one login. Parents save time, children discover great activities in a fun way and it also makes work easier for us in the city administration. “
