Since Würzburg was founded 1000 B.C. by the Celts, it has profited from its attractive location at the intersection of many important traffic roads. Three motorways, 350 train connections a day and the proximity to Frankfurt Airport help you arrive at your destination in no time at all.

A fascinating mix of contrasts is waiting for you. On one side, brilliant art historical highlights, museums and sites of the UNESCO World Heritage – on the other side, 30.000 students, future and vibrant internationality.

Here you can visit a fortress in excellent condition and in the Museum für Franken (Museum for Franconia) you can admire the largest collection of masterpieces of the world-famous sculptor Tilman Riemenschneider. Another top attraction: the breathtaking view from the fortress over the picturesque ensemble of the “Marienkapelle” (Chapel of St. Mary), “Dom St. Kilian” (St. Kilian Cathedral), “Neumünster” Church, “Grafeneckart” Tower and the “Alte Mainbrücke” (Old Main Bridge) with its larger than life figures of saints.  

The magic of the city is joined by a cultural landscape that is of high recreational value.
