2025 Wurzburg Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

Würzburg is a large city located in the northwest of Bavaria, Germany, right between Frankfurt and Nuremberg. It is also an ancient capital with a history of more than a thousand years, making it very suitable for a day trip. In this one-day trip to Würzburg, let’s take a look at the must-see attractions in this town on the Main River! Main content: Würzburg Old Town: The main tourist area of ​​Würzburg is not big. It takes about 2.5-3 kilometers to walk from the station through the old town to the farthest Marienburg Fortress. I have never taken the tram in the city. I just walked slowly and took pictures at will. Although this is an ancient German city, it was also a bishopric with high status during the Holy Roman Empire. There are many churches and museums to visit, but I mostly did not go inside to visit, and only captured the street scenes from outside. Here are a few scenic spots that are easier to take photos: Würzburg Cathedral (Würzburger Dom / The Cathedral of Saint Kilian / Würzburg Cathedral, that is, the Cathedral): This church is the most important church in Würzburg, with a tower that soars into the sky about 103 meters high. The exterior is in ancient Romanesque style. When the church was first built (the 11th century), it had not yet entered the Gothic style period. Although there are churches everywhere, the special thing about this church is that it has many sculptures by the famous German sculptor Tilmann. Riemenschneider's works, I will introduce him later The Chapel of Our Lady and the Falcon House: These two adjacent buildings are also must-see attractions. The Chapel of Our Lady (Marienkapelle), completed in the late 16th century, is in Gothic style and also has many Tilmann. Riemenschneider's stone sculptures, with his sculptures of Adam and Eve at the entrance (the one in the church is a replica); the Falkenhaus is unmistakable, the only building in the old town with intricate Rococo sculptures on the exterior. It is currently a library and tourist center, and its history dates back to the 18th century. It used to be the only ballroom and banquet hall in Würzburg. Old Town Hall Wine Cellar Restaurant: Most of the old town halls in Germany have attached wine cellar restaurants (Ratskeller), and Würzburg is no exception. I dined here on my first night. It is next to the old town hall, but... the wine cellar restaurant is much more conspicuous, and there is a magnificent clock on the outer wall. Old Main Bridge (Alte Mainbrücke): As the name suggests, it is the old bridge on the Main River. By the way...Frankfurt's full name is Frankfurt on the Main. Compared with Frankfurt, Würzburg is located upstream of the Main River, but the two cities are not far apart. The Old Main Bridge is my favorite attraction in Würzburg. It was completed in 1543 and in 1730, 12 statues of historical figures or saints were added to it, making it about 4.5 meters high. This place is really a paradise for photography enthusiasts. It is located on the main road leading to the fortress from the old town. In addition to being able to overlook the fortress on the opposite bank from the bridge, you can also walk to the riverside and take pictures of the bridge and the fortress at the same time. Of course, you can also take pictures of the endless vineyards on both sides of the river from the bridge. The most important thing is... remember to take pictures of the old town from the bridge. It is the representative scenery of Würzburg. It is no problem to take pictures here for an hour!

The most attractive building in the city of Wrzburg is the Wrzburger Residenz, one of Germany's largest and most magnificent Baroque palaces, including palaces, gardens and plazas. The interior of a typical Baroque building is gorgeous Rococo. . Wurzburg's official garden is large and beautiful. It is recommended to take some time to take a photo here. You can also take a panoramic view of the Wrzburg official residence, which is very magnificent. Address: Barthasar-Neumann-Promenade Route: Walk or take the bus from the train station 12 14, 20, 28 to Mainfranken-Theater station Time: 4 to October 9

I walked around the Old Main Bridge in Wurzburg. Sightseeing in Wurzburg is centered around this bridge. The Marienberg Fortress, which can be seen from the bridge and the riverside, is impressive and beautiful. There are many restaurants and cafes along the river, so if you have time, I recommend taking your time to look around.

This is the Main River, a very famous attraction in Germany.

Absolutely #beautiful building in #würzburg . Tickets were reasonable and was easy to navigate inside. We stayed until close and staff were helpful and polite in notifying us about leaving. Locker require a refundable 1€ coin, and are decent sized, so you don't have to carry things round. It is a brilliant photo spot for #instagram stories, or for general sightseeing.

A 1.5-hour drive from Frankfurt will take you to Würzburg, Germany’s famous city of culture, art, wine and romance. It is located on the Main River in Bavaria. It is the castle at the intersection of the German Castle Road and the Romantic Road, and is the starting point of the Romantic Road. Würzburg's earliest history can be traced back to around 1000 BC. The Celts at that time chose Mount Mary to settle, and then gradually expanded down the mountain. By the seventh century AD, Würzburg became the official residence of the dukes of the Frankish Duchy. Later, Würzburg gradually became a cultural center. The Bishop's Palace, which began construction in 1720, is the most famous Baroque building in Würzburg. That night, we took a night tour of the old town and walked to the Old Main Bridge. The statues on the bridge, the Main River, the illuminated Marienburg Castle, the many tourists drinking on the bridge, the wafting aroma of wine, laughter, and the church bells formed a beautiful picture. So beautiful! Würzburg can be regarded as the starting point of Germany's Romantic Road. The next morning, it was a rare sunny day, so we drove to the mountain on the other side of the river to visit the Castle of Mount Mary. From the high vantage point we had a bird's eye view of the entire city and the Main River, as well as the vineyards on the distant hills. It was a beautiful view. Go down the mountain and return to the city to visit the Würzburg Palace. Its murals, ceiling paintings, floors and three-dimensional art are breathtaking. The palace gardening in the back garden is also worth seeing. In the evening, I revisited the Old Main Bridge and saw tourists queuing in front of two bars at the bridge head. Those who had bought wine stood on the bridge with their glasses in hand, tasting the wine and chatting. It is worthy of being a wine city!

"Comparable" | Würzburg, Germany I feel happy here. A city that rivals the sun The bustling old bridge and the flowing river Sunflower-red roof Clouds are flying and vines are growing Different people drinking I fell asleep on the other side of them In the stone fortress Building a medieval dream ⛪~Würzburg, Germany~ Würzburg is located in Bavaria, Germany, and its history can be traced back to the Celtic settlement period in 1000 BC. In the Middle Ages, it was ruled by bishops and was the intersection of religious and secular power. The city was severely bombed during World War II, but was quickly rebuilt after the war and its beauty was restored. Standing on the Festung Marienberg overlooking the Main River and the city is one of the most representative landscapes of Würzburg. The history of the fortress can be traced back to 706 AD. It was once the residence of bishops and an important military defense town. The Old Bridge (Alte Mainbrücke) in Würzburg is the most lively place in the entire city. It was built between 1473 and 1543 and connects the two banks of the Main River. The bridge is decorated with many Baroque statues. Local residents and tourists like to stand on the bridge, drink a glass of local wine, chat and enjoy the scenery on both sides of the river. Würzburg Cathedral (Würzburger Dom) is an important Romanesque building in Germany. It was built in 1040 and combines medieval and Baroque styles, showcasing the splendor of religious art. The magnificent Würzburg Palace (Würzburger Residenz) is one of the masterpieces of European Baroque architecture and was built in the 18th century. The ceiling painting inside the palace is one of the largest single murals in the world and is breathtaking. On the way back to the train station, you will see a magical double-spired church - St. Johanniskirche, which was built in the 12th century and is famous for its perfect fusion of Romanesque and Gothic styles. 📍Address: Würzburg, Germany 📍Transportation: Take the train to Würzburg Main Station 📍Route: Main Train Station➡️Arch Cathedral➡️Old Bridge➡️Marienburg Fortress➡️Würzburg Palace➡️St. John's Church➡️Main Train Station, the whole journey takes 3-5 hours 📍Photography: Choose a sunny day to climb the Marienburg Fortress to overlook the entire city. It is better in the morning and evening when the light is soft. You can choose to shoot with a telephoto lens

Würzburg, also known as Pittsburgh in Chinese, is the capital of Franconia in Bavaria and a must-see city on the Romantic Road in Bavaria. The Main River flows through the old town, and on the river is the "Old Bridge" (Fig. 5, Fig. 8) preserved from the 15th century. On the mountain opposite the Old Bridge is the most classic attraction of Würzburg, the "Marienberg Fortress" (Fig. 9), a castle built in the 11th century. Among the many churches, the "Church of Our Lady" (built in 1735) is the most prominent. There are countless churches in the city, which is extremely rare in Germany and is known as the "City of Churches." In the evening, I walked across the Old Bridge and climbed the castle hill along the pedestrian path. From the platform at the top of the hill, I looked out over the city of Würzburg, where the sunset glow reflected the whole city, with churches, red roofs, and vineyards, all in a magnificent view.

My daughter and I went to Europe for the first time. We visited several places, and this stop was at Würzburg Residence in Germany. The Würzburg Palace is in Würzburg. We lived in Nuremberg and it was a quick hour or so by DB train. The scenery along the way was also very beautiful. After visiting the town, we went to visit the palace, which was well worth a visit. You need to buy a ticket to get in, but it's not expensive. I did a lot of research online before going, and it said that you are not allowed to bring cameras in. After arriving, I found that it is now open and you can take pictures with your camera (I don't know if it will be short or long, it's better for everyone to read the instructions if you go) The palace is super luxurious and beautiful. I heard that it is more beautiful than many royal palaces and castles. The only pity is that most of what you see now have been restored, and there are not many authentic historical relics left. This is because the palace was destroyed by bombs when the Allies counterattacked Germany in the late World War II. We walked around for about an hour and then left because we lived in Nuremberg and needed to go back for dinner. #Sign up for October Hotel Test Sleeper #GermanyTravel #Würzburg💞 Recommended reason: The palace is luxurious and beautiful Itinerary: Free travel #Sign up for the October hotel tester at the Palace of Wurzburg Palace of Wurzburg

This is the beautiful small German city of Würzburg! If you visit on a nice day, you can fully enjoy the beautiful and wonderful view like in the pictures :) There are also many small and cute restaurants and cafes hidden here and there. I recommend this city as a great place to travel not only with your lover but also with your family.🤍 📍 Würzburg, Bavaria, Germany 🇩🇪 #GermanyTravel #GermanSmallCity #GermanyTravel #ViewRestaurants #Couples #FamilyTravel #EuropeTravel #EuropeanFeelings #EuropeanTravelDestination #GermanTravelDestination

The upper part of the Marienberg Fortress has a well-kept flower garden. As you can see, people are chatting among the colorful flowers, and although it is not in the photo, it was full of locals sitting on long chairs, sunbathing, and enjoying nature while looking at the quiet city. #August Travel Support Fund Event

This is the Marienberg Fortress located in Wurzburg. They say it is a very old castle. It is well maintained despite its age. They say they repair the old parts through the entrance fee. If you climb up to the Marienberg Fortress, you can see Wurzburg at a glance. The reason is that German castles are built on mountains, so they are taller than most buildings. #August Travel Support Fund Event

The Würzburg Residence, located in the state of Bavaria, Germany, is situated in the city center. This massive Baroque-style building was destroyed during World War II and later restored. Originally a bishop's residence, it was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1981. It's impressive how the Germans have managed to restore these old heritages, which would have been completely lost due to the war. 📍Würzburg Residence Residenzplatz 2, 97070 Würzburg, Bavaria Germany

Compared to the Palace of Versailles or Schönbrunn Palace, it has a more quaint feel. Since it's called a Residence rather than a Palace, it might be more appropriate to refer to it as a mansion. Inside the mansion, you can see various rooms and a variety of artworks :) It was heavily damaged during World War II but has been restored. The garden is very well-maintained and would be a great spot for a picnic :) 📍Würzburg Residence Residenzplatz 2, 97070 Wurzburg, Bavaria Germany

If you visit Würzburg, make sure to check it out. It's visible from anywhere in the city. The well-maintained garden is really beautiful. If you don't have much time, just viewing the exterior is enough. It's splendid and there's a lot to see. I think it's one of the places where you can witness Germany's resilience rising from the ruins of war. 📍Würzburg Residence Residenzplatz 2, 97070 Wurzburg, Bavaria Germany

Nice town to speed a day with friends or family. There are a lot of cafes and restaurants around the old town. People here are also very friendly and nice.

Driving into Würzburg, the first stop on Germany's Romantic Road, in light rain, you wouldn't guess this city was rebuilt after the devastation of World War II. The roads are not wide, many sections are one-way, and some cobblestone streets remain. Trams seem to play a major role in the city's public transport system. We chose a hotel in the old town, with a name that seems to have a musical touch, the Strauss Hotel, near the Main River. After checking in, we followed the map to find attractions. Google Maps showed an 'Old Crane' by the river next to the hotel. Initially, we thought it was some antique, but it turned out to be an old 'crane neck crane,' a type of mechanical crane that used to be common at many docks in China but is now hard to find in modern ports. The walking tour of Würzburg starts from the riverside. Würzburg is an ancient city with a long history. It has consistently ranked among the most beautiful small towns in tourist guides, indicating that the city is not large. Perhaps due to my persistence, the forecasted rainy weather suddenly cleared up in the evening, revealing blue skies and white clouds that hadn't been seen for days. Haha 🤭, luck was on my side. The sudden sunshine caught me off guard, and with limited time, I had to quicken my pace despite my fatigue. Not far from the hotel is the Market Square, accompanied by the Gothic-style Marienkapelle. The red exterior walls are quite rare. It had just rained, so there weren't many tourists or pedestrians in the square. The town hall is small, and no one paid attention to me when I wandered inside. Next to it is the Old Main Bridge, with many statues on both sides of the bridge. From the bridge, you can see the Marienberg Fortress on the hill opposite. A few hundred meters east of the Old Main Bridge is the Würzburg Cathedral, next to which is a large domed Protestant church, originally Romanesque but renovated in Baroque style. The Cathedral Museum is adjacent to it. Passing by the Würzburg Conservatory, not far away is St. Michael's Church. Another 200 meters east is the luxurious 18th-century Würzburg Residence, known locally as the 'Palace,' listed as a cultural heritage site by UNESCO. It is one of Germany's most important and beautiful Baroque palaces. Miraculously, it escaped destruction during the heavy bombings in the late stages of World War II. When I arrived, ticket sales had already ended, so I could only look around and take photos outside. The palace garden has no restrictions, maintaining the traditional palace garden style with neatly trimmed shapes, sculptures, and fountains. This walk covered about 4-5 kilometers and took over 3 hours to visit. I spent quite a bit of time on the Old Main Bridge, finding it quite special. A dam was built on the Main River here, diverting the river and raising the water level on one side. When the water flow is high, it overflows the dam, speeding up the flow downstream. It reminded me a bit of the Dujiangyan Irrigation System near Chengdu, Sichuan. I wonder if my guess is correct? It's worth researching. At the head of the Old Main Bridge is a restaurant called 'Alte Mainmühle,' where many people line up for a glass of white wine. I imagine the wine must be excellent. People simply enjoy a glass of wine, standing on the Old Main Bridge outdoors, admiring the surrounding scenery, drinking, and chatting, which is very pleasant. The restaurant also has a two-story terrace along the river, but it seems people prefer the outdoor setting for its special ambiance. Seeing the long queue, I decided to skip this wonderful romantic moment to save time for sightseeing. Due to adding Nuremberg to the itinerary, we arrived too late to visit the Old Palace Marienberg Fortress. I hoped to visit it the next morning if the weather was clear, but things didn't go as planned, and we had to end our Würzburg trip hastily. On a side note, Würzburg is worth a visit, at least for a day. If time permits, two days would be ideal.

YOMARO is a German Frozen Yogurt store that opened its first branch in 2012 and has since expanded to a total of 19 branches nationwide, with indications of more to come. The idea of eating Frozen Yogurt came from Asia, hence the store's name has a Japanese ring to it. The branch we visited is in Würzburg. The ordering system is just like our local Frozen Yogurt shops, with the store's own yogurt as the base and a variety of toppings to choose and mix & match at the counter. Here are the 2 cups we chose: 🍨Frozen Yogurt + Watermelon The yogurt here is smooth, fragrant, and delicious. The topping is fresh, sweet, ripe watermelon cubes drizzled with sauce. It's refreshing and perfect for a hot day. 🍨 Frozen Yogurt + Candied Cherries + Chocolate Sauce Cherries and chocolate sauce are a perfect match, reminiscent of a black forest cake. Paired with frozen yogurt, it's incredibly satisfying. I liked it even more than the first cup.

Embarking on a Journey of Friendship in the Enchanting City of Würzburg: A Leisurely Day of Shared Smiles, Gentle Strolls through Historic Alleys, and Heart-to-Heart Conversations. Amidst the picturesque landscapes and architectural wonders, two dear friends bask in the warmth of each other's company, savoring the intricate blend of laughter, genuine connection, and the timeless beauty that Würzburg graciously unfolds before them.

Marienberg Fortress in Würzburg is a historic fortress with roots dating back to medieval times. Visitors can explore the fortress grounds, which offer panoramic views of the city and the Main River. Inside, you'll find the Mainfränkisches Museum, showcasing regional art and artifacts. Additionally, the fortress has beautiful gardens and courtyards, making it a great place for a leisurely stroll. Don't forget to immerse yourself in the rich history and architecture of this iconic site.

The German city of Würzburg has a small population, with only about 13,000 people living in the city. The low population density makes it comfortable to walk. Moreover, this is a university city, and the residents are generally younger. 👦👧 The buildings are very short, and there is also a unique church💒, as well as beautiful riverside scenery. It is comfortable and pleasant, and is a popular place for taking photos📷 and enjoying the scenery. #GermanyTravel #OverseasTravel
