Frequently Asked Questions

At the very foot of the castle, on the Main. The Schloss Johannisburg and its four corner towers rise above the river just beyond the gangway. Few calls place their main monument so close to the quay: no transport is needed.
A red sandstone palace built between 1605 and 1614 for Prince-Elector Johann Schweikard von Kronberg, one of the masterpieces of late Renaissance architecture in Germany. It served as a second residence for the prince-archbishops of Mainz, who moved their court here.
Painting collections and a municipal museum, including a notable collection of miniature cork architectural models. Allow an hour and a half for the rooms. Even without going in, walking the exterior between the courtyard and the river terraces justifies the stop.
A replica of a Roman house from Pompeii, built in the 19th century at the request of King Ludwig I of Bavaria. A devotee of antiquity, he wanted his contemporaries to be able to walk into an ancient dwelling without crossing the Alps. Atriums, mosaics and frescoes: the illusion still works.
On foot, following the upper bank from the terraces through gardens planted with fig trees and vines. The white villa appears among the cypresses. The gardens slope gently and suit any pace. Allow an hour for the villa and its surroundings.
The programme fits comfortably into a half-day: the castle, the Pompejanum and its gardens, then an hour wandering the old town. There is even time left for a final walk along the riverbank before departure.
A tangle of lanes where half-timbered houses stand beside bourgeois façades. Theatre Square, with its neoclassical building, arcades and fountains, offers the best terrace break. The pedestrian street leads toward the collegiate church on its rise.
A town-centre park with ponds, swans and well-kept beds, a short walk from the old town. It is the pause walkers appreciate between monuments, and a good spot to catch your breath with children.
Yes, at the northwestern edge of the state, where the Main leaves the wooded Spessart hills. Do not expect Alpine Bavarian folklore: the atmosphere is that of a Franconian provincial town, remarkably peaceful for its size.
Franconian pastries in a town-centre café, or regional cooking in an old-town inn. The currency is the euro; cards work in most establishments, though a little cash remains useful in small cafés.
