Wurzburg

Also known as Würzburg

3 things to see

Würzburg hands you its best moment for free: stand on the pedestrian Alte Mainbrücke with a cheap glass of Franconian wine from the stands at either end, look up at Marienberg Fortress, and you have done the Brückenschoppen, the most local thing in town and one that costs only the price of a Silvaner pour. The old town is free to wander, and the Residenz Hofgarten, the palace court garden, is open year-round at no charge, so you can soak up the UNESCO-listed Baroque setting without paying to tour the interior. Skip restaurant markups by buying Franconian wine in its flask-shaped Bocksbeutel bottle and picnicking on the riverbank below the vineyards. It pairs naturally with the medieval lanes of Rothenburg ob der Tauber down the Romantic Road or the canal-side old town of Bamberg, both easy and affordable Franconian add-ons.
