Würzburg is a beautifull town located by the river Main in northern Bavaria, between Frankfurt and Nuremberg. The mix of stunning historical architecture and the young population is what makes the atmosphere so unique, including 35,000 students from three different universities. The mild and sunny climate is ideal to enjoy the many activities Würzburg has to offer: visiting a beer garden next to the river, attending a sporting or cultural event or taking a stroll through one of the parks.

Over the years, Würzburg has been home to many well-known personalities. Artists whose names are inextricably linked to Würzburg are Tilman Riemenschneider and Balthasar Neumann. Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen discovered the X-rays in the local Institute of Physics. Würzburg is also the birthplace of physicist Werner Heisenberg and basketball player Dirk Nowitzki.

Würzburg is the gateway to the Romantic Road, a 350 km long route linking cultural treasures and picturesque landscapes. The Romantic Road connects the beautiful Franconian Wine Country, the world-famous fairy-tale castle Neuschwanstein, the Fugger city of Augsburg and the medieval town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber.

Some highlights we recommend for your visit:

• Visit the Residence Palace (UNESCO World Heritage Site) and the adjoining baroque Court Gardens.
• Enjoy a Brückenschoppen, a glass of Franconian wine served on the Old River Main Bridge.
• Take a trip to the Marienberg fortress for an unforgettable view of the city and its numerous churches (get further information here).
• Relax in one of Würzburg’s parks: the Ringpark which encompasses the old town like a belt, the University’s Botanical Garden, or the two former State Garden Show Areas (1990 and 2018).
• Try out Franconian delicacies (such as wine soup, bratwurst or one of the many fish specialties) in a local restaurant or café.

There is something here for everyone! For further information, please visit the website of the tourist information centre.
