Würzburg was highly rated for old town by 107 guests from the United States!Würzburg Travel Guide
A Stately Start to the Romantic Road
At the start of Bavaria’s scenic Romantic Road, Würzburg is an elegant city with monuments attesting the power of the Church. On a green hill west of the city center is Marienberg Fortress, the former seat of the ruling prince-bishops. Now, it houses the Mainfränkisches art museum and overlooks the statue-lined Old Bridge crossing the Main River below.
But its the home of the prince-bishops that really steals the show. The opulence of the Würzburg Residence and its landscaped gardens have earned it a spot on the UNESCO World Heritage list. The surrounding U-shaped park extends all the way around the historic center.
This park is the first thing you see when leaving the train station, and nearby is the Röntgen memorial commemorating the physicist who discovered X-rays while teaching at Würzburg University, one of the oldest in the country.
Also one of Germany’s oldest is the Würzburger Stein vineyard outside the city. Some of the region’s signature Franken wine can be sampled in the cellar of historic Julius Spital hospital. Nearby is the Falkenhaus and the neighboring Church of Our Lady borders the main square. The cathedral is much larger and has its own museum.

Returned to Wurzburg after 40 years.
Returned to Wurzburg after 40 years. My first trip was as a US soldier who fell in love with the city and its hospitable people. This trip reconfirmed my love and was a walk through memory lane. And yes, the city is as beautiful as ever, and the people remain warm and hospitable.

The main bridge was a wonderful place to have a glass of wine and people-watch in the early evening. The residence of the prince bishops before 1720 above the city on the Marienberg hill was very interesting as was the new palace and gardens built after 1720 close to the city centre.
The people in Wurzburg were friendly, prices reasonable, all In all we had a lovely time and would return to continue on the Romantische Strasse which starts in Wurzburg.

There's so much to see in Würzburg!
There's so much to see in Würzburg! A beautiful city with a wonderful market, full of baroque, racoco architecture! Don't miss the "residence ". Have a glass of Franconian wine on the bridge! All of the city's main sites are a walkable distance. If you are on a budget, just grab a beer and sit along the riverfront and enjoy the view, you won't be alone!

It is a very quaint little town.
It is a very quaint little town. Good food and beer. There are a lot of churches to see and the Palace and grounds are beautiful. It is a good place to stay and take day trips to other cities nearby.

Wuerzburg is a wonderful city.
Wuerzburg is a wonderful city.. but I am a bit biased after having the opportunity to live there for over a year many moons ago. A great place to visit for perhaps 5 days or a bit longer. You will especially need longer if you have a car and use it as a base to explore the beautiful surrounding villages, weinfests, etc.
“The hotel is right across from the train station and we are able to walk to sightsee Würzburg from the hotel. The room is clean and comfortable. The bathroom is big and very clean. The staffs are really nice and personable.”
“I liked the interesting decor, the candles, Christmas tree, and fireplace. The art work was beautiful. My room was very comfortable and it was quiet. The hotel is in a great location, central to shopping and historic sites.”
“Easy walk from train station and to the main square and very close to the river) less than 5 min walk). The triple room was a perfect size for three people, and good AC for a summer day. Breakfast good too, and helpful staff. Very positive stay, and I would recommend definitely. Good price too. We really adored Würzburg, and the picnicking and wine drinking along the river on a Saturday night in summer was truly delightful!!”
“We were assigned a corner room and loved it. Even though the hotel is located in a very busy part of town, the noise level was very low. We were greeted like royalty upon arrival; everyone speaks English.”

“The staff were extremely genuine, friendly and helpful. This is the benefit of a family run hotel - they were clearly dedicated to and proud of their hotel. - and rightly so, for it is an absolute gem.”
“Everything!!!!!!! This was an experience. The staff were wonderful and friendly. The property is beautiful, secluded and yet, not. It is a secret getaway that I want to share but, also keep to only those in the know....”
