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.
