About Würzburg

A beautiful, lively city on the banks of the Main River, Würzburg is famed for its graceful architecture, expansive art collections and excellent local wine. A popular destination for holidaymakers from within Germany and further afield, Würzburg boasts an array of hotels and guesthouses. Whether you’re a heritage enthusiast or a keen foodie, our pick of the best places to stay in offers something for everyone.

The majestic Residenz is Würzburg’s most well-known landmark, an ornate palace of elaborate stonework, immaculate gardens and a dazzling art collection. Once home to the prince-bishops who ruled this part of Bavaria, the Baroque residence is now a protected UNESCO Heritage Site, with fantastic guided tours. Other highlights include the Hofkirche, an elegant chapel with an intricately painted ceiling, or the imposing hilltop Marienburg Fortress, which is well worth the walk.

Venture into the surrounding countryside for tours and tastings at local wineries, or to follow hiking and mountain biking trails. Drives along the beautiful Romantic Road are also very special.
