Overview

In 1525, Würzburg's most celebrated sculptor was mayor of the city. Weeks later, he was imprisoned in the fortress above and tortured. This self-guided audio tour traces his storey — and six centuries of rebellion, destruction, and reinvention — through one of Germany's most underrated cities.

You'll hear how merchants built a massive church just to spite their rulers, why 89% of the old centre was destroyed in seventeen minutes, and walk the bridge where locals now drink wine from vineyards over a thousand years old.

Start anytime, pause for a glass of Franconian wine, and pick up where you left off — no group, no schedule. Works offline too.

Over 20,000 travellers have explored with your self-guided tours, backed by a full refund guarantee. If you want a Würzburg walking tour that goes deeper than a guidebook, this one's ready when you are.
