Key facts of the tour
It is difficult to choose from Würzburg's countless treasures. The beautiful university city lies nestled on the Main, surrounded by vineyards. For over 1000 years, the river and the wealthy and powerful prince-bishops with their architectural heritage have characterised the life and image of the city.

The Marienberg Fortress or the Prince-Bishops' Residence, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1981, would be reason enough to visit Würzburg. This also applies to the most beautiful of the city's many churches. This tour combines the most impressive sacred and secular buildings into a city and riverside walk, the literal highlight of which is a breathtaking view over the city and the River Main from the Fürstengarten.

Direction

At the main railway station, the Franconian Apostle Kilian points you in the direction of the city centre with his blessing on the Kilian Fountain. You give him a friendly nod and decide to take a different route. On this tour, you will only cross the old town centre once and otherwise walk through green spaces, vineyards and along riverbanks.

First turn right to walk behind the bus station through the Ringpark towards the banks of the Main. Once you have crossed the Röntgenring and the tram tracks at the end of the park, stroll southwards along Kranenkai until you reach Würzburg's landmark, the eponymous Alter Kranen.
