With around 127,000 inhabitants, Würzburg is a major city on the Main River and the seventh largest city in Bavaria.

Starting from the Marienberg Fortress, which can be seen from almost everywhere in the city, Würzburg has actually been a centre of power since the Middle Ages. Economically, intellectually and politically.

The city can look back on many centuries in which regional and national history was written. Even though history likes to hide in Würzburg, and the buildings destroyed in the bombing raid of 16 March 1945 have been partially restored, at least on the outside, there are only a few ensembles of town houses that still exude the flair of bygone times.

But Würzburg has since become not only an important place for the Catholic Church, but also for regional administration in Lower Franconia and a renowned university town, which is conducive to the existence of nice pubs, interesting theatres and cultural offerings.

History can be experienced in the Old Town Hall or in the many churches and squares with their historically valuable works of art. Some of these are also listed as World Heritage Sites, such as the baroque Würzburg Residence, the fortress and the old Main Bridge.
