Wurzburg is on the banks of the Main River, along the "Romantic Road",  a fascinating stop on many Rhine River and Main River cruises. In the heart of the biggest wine-producing region in Germany, Wurtzburg emanates Baroque culture, captured perfectly by the impressive Baroque Residenz Palace - this UNESCO World Heritage Site features a grand fresco by famed Italian artist Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. A hike to Marienberg Fortress, the most prominent landmark on the left bank of the Main River, is another option for active travelers. And no visit is complete without a wine tasting in the cellars underneath the city. Your time in Wurzburg is bookended by stops in other ancient German citites, like Bamberg, Wertheim, and Kitzingen. Contact one of our European River cruise experts today to start planning your trip to Wurtzburg!

Highlights of Wurzburg, Germany
Enjoy some time on your river cruise in the centrally located town of Wurzburg. As you travel the Main River to the much longer Rhine River, you will be immersed in the Baroque atmosphere of Wurzburg.

Don't miss out on sampling the local wines that are best tasted right where they are produced and aged, in the cellars beneath the city!

Active explorers will enjoy a hike to the expansive landmark Marienberg Fortress, one of the oldest buildings in all of southern Germany. 

And the main highlight is of course the UNESCO World Heritage Site: Residenz Palace, where Giovanni BAttista Tiepolo's grande fresco is proudly displayed.

Adventure Life has been great throughout my planning process for our up and coming Galapagos cruise. Kevin Moore, in particular, was very helpful in assisting me in making choices and providing me with options. He was also very patient, as I worked through figuring out what I really wanted in this vacation.

Mary Curry made the experience wonderful for the second time. She is the reason we returned to Adventure Life to book our second cruise on WindStar. She is tireless, well informed, pleasant to work with and totally reliable. If you offer employees bonuses, give her one! there who answered to phone to help us book shore excursions were also very good and easy to work with - and we demand rather an lot of help.
