Welcome to Bayreuth
The former Margravial residence is today world famous for the annual Richard Wagner Festival. The largest city in Upper Franconia is a modern university, congress and conference town, has a
strong economy and is well on its way to becoming the high-tech centre of the region. Bayreuth's sights, museums and broad choice of cultural activities provide visitors a range of attractions
all year round.
Our Margravial Opera House is the most beautiful baroque theatre in Europe and was appointed on June 30th, 2012 as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Visitors are treated to fascinating palaces, the
historic gardens of the Eremitage with its mysterious caves and water fountains, the Richard-Wagner-Festspielhaus with its unique acoustics and more than 20 interesting museums. A great number
of festivals provide outstanding musical and theatrical performances.
Bayreuth also offers a wide range of leisure activities, including the championship golf course and the Lohengrin thermal spa. Comfortable hotels and guesthouses invite you to relax and to forget
your everyday troubles, whilst Franconian and international restaurants provide a variety of gastronomic delights. Bayreuth is the gateway to the tourist regions Fichtelgebirge and the romantic
Fränkische Schweiz; it is easily reached by car on the national motorways (Autobahn) A9 and A70.
The Deutsche Bahn (German Railway) links Bayreuth and Nuremberg with fast trains every hour. International connections are provided by several airlines with daily flights from different cities to Nuremberg and hourly connections by train to Bayreuth.
