Weltkulturerbe in Würzburg mit A-ROSA erleben

Würzburg

The wine in Würzburg really is excellent. Situated in a basin, Würzburg could be described as the young old city. Its 1,400 years of history can be seen in the cityscape. The Würzburg Residence, for example, is one of the most important buildings of the late Baroque period, and the Hall of Mirrors is considered to be the most perfect rococo work of spatial art. The city is also youthful because of the many students who have brought cafés, bars, modern culture and concerts with them. And the "party cellars" - a special feature of Würzburg's nightlife.

Frankfurt Weihnachtsmarkt

Frankfurt

“Here I am Man, here dare it to be!” This quote from Frankfurt's most famous son - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - actually comes from his "Faust", but it also applies wonderfully to his home city. Here you will find modern financial buildings stretching high into the sky as well as an old town with historic buildings and half-timbered houses. And if you simply want to relax on this river cruise, take a long walk along the beautiful banks of the Main.

Weihnachtsmarkt in Aschaffenburg

Aschaffenburg

Aschaffenburg offers its visitors a wide range of experiences and sights. From historic buildings to idyllic nature parks, there is something for everyone to discover here. An absolute highlight is Johannisburg Castle - an imposing Renaissance palace. From its towers, you enjoy a breathtaking view over the old town and the River Main.

Weihnachten mit A-ROSA genießen

There are numerous sights to discover in Nuremberg - including Nuremberg Castle, an impressive medieval palace with panoramic views over the city. The Old Town, with its narrow streets, historic buildings and lively markets, is perfect for a walk. The main square, famous for the Christkindlesmarkt during Christmas time, is also a popular attraction.

Nuremberg

Bamberg is a magical place to visit during Christmastime, with festively decorated alleyways, idyllic half-timbered houses and a well-preserved old town built on seven hills and criss-crossed by scenic branches of the Regnitz river. Ideal for a stroll, while feasting on local delicacies and shopping for Christmas presents.

Bamberg im Herbst

At the Schweinfurt Chritsmas market, visitors can marvel at the historical sites, such as the imposing town hall, St. Johannis Church and the half-timbered facades in the old town. The ‘Georg Schäfer’ museum with its remarkable collection of European paintings is a highlight for all art lovers.

Weihnachtsmarkt mit A-ROSA

The festive season has arrived in Würzburg: the old episcopal city shines brightly on both banks of the River Main. Meanwhile, the medieval Marienberg fortress ‘overlooks’ the wintery scene. Simply marvelous!
