Marienberg Fortress

Castle tour available recommend to book in advance. We booked a tour (it was only available in Germany) and ended up not joining the tour and walked around the fortress ourselves. There are areas such as the chapel that can only be visited with the tour.

The fortress is on a hill and there’s a good viewing platform with view of Würzburg town

Würzburg Old Bridge

We walked from the fortress to town via Alte MainBrucke (the Old Main Bridge)

There was a bar on the bridge and lots of people enjoying a glass of wine on the bridge.

Würzburg Residence

The Würzburg Residence is on the UNESCO World Heritage list. It is big with more than 40 rooms to visit and beautiful (Baroque style), no pictures are allowed inside. The Mirror Cabinet is not to be missed.

The outside court Garden is also worth visiting if time allows.
