Frequently Asked Questions

A couple of minutes from the old town, on the Main. Everything is done on foot on flat ground, and ship bicycles reach the cycle path right off the pontoon.
The oxen ford. Teams of oxen crossed the Main here long before a bridge spanned the river, and the town kept from that era a simple layout and a nearly complete wall.
Walk the walls, wait for the figurine clock on the Neues Rathaus, visit the parish church and the town museum, then taste a silvaner in a cellar in the centre. A relaxed day covers it.
Yes, in under an hour on foot. The wall is lined with vegetable gardens and tiled watchtowers. You will meet more cats than visitors.
A mechanical clock housed in the Neues Rathaus, Gothic despite its name, whose little theatre comes to life on the hour. The show is short, but it has been repeating for generations and people still gather.
The thirteenth-century parish church has a surprisingly colourful interior, with polychrome statues and painted vaults. It stands on the central square beside the town hall.
The flattened, rounded bottle reserved for Franconian wines. Cellars in the centre serve dry silvaner and fruity müller-thurgau, often with a warm pretzel, and pack bottles for travel.
Mostly in the afternoon, while bakeries open at dawn. Groups book their tasting the day before; independent visitors simply follow the wrought-iron signs.
Yes, about twenty kilometres downstream. The Würzburg Residence, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with Balthasar Neumann staircase and the Tiepolo fresco, is reached by coach. Many itineraries give it the following day call.
The euro, and bring cash. In a town of about eleven thousand people, several cellars, bakeries and small shops do not take cards.
