Tour description
Würzburg is a baroque gem on the River Main, the heart of the Franconian wine region, renowned for its magnificent UNESCO-listed Residence and an imposing hilltop fortress. Beautifully reconstructed after the war, it is a captivating destination to explore. On this walking tour, a local guide will unveil the city's rich heritage.
You will admire the grand Residence, stroll through the Old Town, and cross the statue-lined old bridge facing the fortress. Along the way, you’ll hear stories about the prince-bishops, the baroque era, and Franconian wine. Elegant and steeped in history, Würzburg is a wonderful city to discover on foot.
