General presentation
Wurtzbourg
Franconian city on the Main, known for its baroque residence, fortress, bridges and vineyards.
To understand what Wurtzbourg is, you have to look at the Wurtzbourg Residence, Marienberg Fortress and Alte Mainbrücke. These places give us a view of a territory marked by urban life, riverscapes, heritage and the countryside and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.

The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place
Résidence de Wurtzbourg
The Wurtzbourg Residence has a spectacular Baroque charm, between monumental staircases, frescoes, salons and gardens. The visit is particularly suitable for lovers of architecture and interior decors, as each room plays on light, perspective and demonstration of power.
Heritage
Forteresse de Marienberg
The Marienberg fortress dominates Wurtzburg from the other bank of the Main, with a precious view of the city, the bridges and the vineyards. Its ramparts and its courts tell a defensive and princely history, more legible when you take the time to walk.
Place
Alte Mainbrücke
The Alte Mainbrücke connects the old town to the slopes of Marienberg in a very lively setting, punctuated with statues and views of the Main. Stopping at the end of a visit or at the end of the day makes it possible to feel the balance between town, river and vineyards.
Place
Vignobles de Franconie
The vineyards of Franconie give Wurtzburg its most distinctive background, with hillsides descending towards the Main. They are of interest to the curious wine and landscape travellers, especially when a tasting allows you to connect the views to the local grape varieties.
