"Grüß Gott" in Würzburg! Here is where one finds the nicest Franks, the most beautiful baroque architecture, the best wine festivals and the longest nights. Celebrate with us!
 
You will feel welcome in our old bishops's town, that is just as pleasant, inviting and lively as we Würzburgers ourselves. I am still impressed when I catch sight of the silhouette of the town: set between green vine covered hills, one can spot many towers and baroque buildings of this city on the Main river. The best known symbol of Würzburg, the mighty fort on the Marienberg with the Mainfränkische Museum, is fascinating not only to culture freaks. A stroll through the pedestrian zone leads you past the gothic Marienkapelle, the Salischen Dom, the Stift Haug and the baroque Neumüster.
Würzburg is a city of superlatives. The Fürstbischöfliche Residenz is the grandest baroque castle in Germany, and, as if that were not enough, the ceiling fresco is not only internationally famous, but also the largest of it's kind world-wide. The yearly Mozart Festival is held in the Kaisersaal and Hofgarten of the Residenz. Under the Residenz there is an architecturally unique vaulted celler. In this grand Hofkeller, Frankenweine, beloved by Goethe, are stored.
Wine experts and those who would like to become such will enjoy being here. Our wine festivals, from April until October, are lovely and lively. Our "Heckenwirtschaften" are especially interesting to see: Small wine growers who open their doors only for a few weeks in September and October. The winemakers clear out their living rooms and cellers and sell Federweißen to the public.
You can order a traditional "Schoppen" of Frankenwein in the Weinhaus Stachel, the oldest winehouse and restaurant in Würzburg. Another of the most lovely wine towns is Sommerhausen and definitely worth a trip. In this wealthy artist town there are champagne and winemakers and the smallest theater in Germany, the Torturntheater.

The Kitzingen district, widely known as the "wine district" has almost half of
the wine stocks in Franconia as well as a rich cultural landscape. This includes
many historical towns and villages with old town walls, tithed farms,
half-timbered buildings and many "smaller" art monuments. The famous wine and
vintage festivals which attract thousands of visitors from near and far each
year are brimming with atmosphere.
The Kitzingen region covering around 680 square kilometres stretches from the
Main triangle in the east to the edge of the Steigerwald in the west.
Viticulture is the major landmark of the region. The many different geological
conditions allow a large number of wine varieties to be produced which are
enhanced further by the wide range of vines which are grown. Many interesting
names can be found on the typical Franconian bocksbeutel bottles such as "Iphöfer
Julius-Echter-Berg, Volkacher Kirchberg and Dettelbacher Honigberg" to name just
a few.
With a total population of approx. 21,000 the old wine trading town of Kitzingen
is the centre of the district with its landmark Falterturm also known as the
‘broken’ or ‘leaning’ tower.
Kitzingen is a member of the tourist association “Die Gastlichen Fünf im
Fränkischen Weinland“, the five best known wine towns in the Franconian region.
Besides Kitzingen these are Volkach, Dettelbach, Iphofen and
Gerolzhofen. In addition to their famous wines and many cultural and historical places of
interest these towns are known for their typical Franconian hospitality.
The Kitzingen region offers visitors many leisure activities such as guided
vineyard tours, wine sampling in elegant surroundings and original wine cellar
tours, wine seminars, guided city tours, a well developed network of bicycle and
walking routes, guided bicycle tours, boat trips on the Main, carriage rides and
numerous museums.
The wine district is especially popular in early summer when the famous
Franconian asparagus is on the menu, in summer when the wine festivals are held
and in autumn when the grapes are being harvested. The young wine, also known as
Bremser, and the Zwiebelkuchen (onion tart) which is typically eaten along with
the wine are great favourites which remain in the visitors’ memory long after
they have returned home.
