    Getting TO/AROUND: Wuerzburg is situated along the river MAIN, and using the Rhein-Main-Danube-Canal means that you could take cruises to and from Wuerzburg to any ship-able place of these rivers. Unfortunately there are not many ships going from lets say Amsterdam to Vienna via Wuerzburg, but several times a year you will be able to do it !
    For all tourists who just like to watch the cruise-ships, there is an interesting lock to be seen from the old bridge over the river Main (see my 3rd and 4th picture!)

    Getting TO/AROUND: Wuerzburger Stadtrad is an interesting school-project of the Don-Bosco-school in Wuerzburg : Old bicycles had been restored and painted newly in the colors of the city and they are ment to be used free of charge by local people and tourists ! I saw the bikes that you see on my photograph at the end of the Main-bridge, at the side of the castle Marienberg. There are some more places, where you can get them ! The telephone-number below is just in case that you have some problems with these bikes !

    Transportation: park your car & WALK !

    Getting TO/AROUND: When arriving by car, follow the sign-posts for Residenz and right in front of the Residenz you will find the largest car-parking of Wuerzburg and from there you may easyly walk to all major sights within only a few minutes. All over the city you will also find large maps for the tourists,like the one on my 2nd picture, so you almost cannot loose your way while strolling through Wuerzburg, crossing Mainbruecke and step up to Marienburg.
    The parking-fee was not extremely high, you get a ticket, when you enter the parking-area and pay at a machine before you are leaving again.

    Transportation: step up to the castle Marienberg

    Getting TO/AROUND: Of course you could drive by your car or by public bus to Marienberg (the old fortess on top of a hill), BUT in case that you have enough time it makes sense to walk over the old Main-bridge and step uphill. That way you will pass through many interesting gates of the old fortifications and you will also get an idea about the giant parks around Marienberg and at many places you will enjoy a great view of the city.
    From the bridge it takes about 10-15 minutes to get to Marienberg, NO entrancefee for the castle, only in case that you like to visit one of the museums you have to pay some entrance-fee.

     Thank you for sharing a few highlights of Wurzburg with us. I attended the American High School there and Lived in Kitzingen. I treasure the memories. Both cities are beautiful and filled with history and character.    		flyingscot4 Tue Mar 10, 2009 03:04 UTC
     Great stuff about Würzburg, Michael. It takes a "real" German or Austrian to hit the high points of any Austrian or German city, especially in an area like Franken. I'll be in Würzburg in a couple of weeks and really needed the "refresher" course. Thanks

     Thanks Michael for showing us highlights and hidden paths of Wuerzburg - one of the most interesting cities in Bavaria in my opinion. I've been there once and even have made a page, but in a hurry. I want to rebuild it one day.    		lotharlerch Mon Nov 19, 2007 22:47 UTC
     Hoffentlich geht sich im Frühling eine Frankenreise aus - Nürnberg, Bamberg, Würzburg, mit Bratwurst und Bocksbeutel.
