11 minsAdmission Ticket FreeTour of the Romanesque St. Kilian's Cathedral from the outside and, if accessible, also from the inside. Experience the exciting mix of High Romanesque, Baroque, 1950s reconstruction and interior design from modern decades.Neumuenster
10 minsAdmission Ticket FreeThe Neumünsterstift impresses with its elaborate facade and valuable interior furnishings. You will hear the Franconian legend of St. Kilian, which is closely linked to the Neumünster, receive clear explanations about the modern art and the works of historical eras in the interior and find out why the dome, which is far too large, is actually in the wrong place.Haus zum Falken

6 minsAdmission Ticket FreeTour and interior visit of the late Gothic Marienkapelle, Würzburg's only civil church. Learn about the history, architecture, art and why it is a chapel despite its size... and why there have always been shops on the outside wall.Market Square
10 minsAdmission Ticket FreeAround the market square you can see an "architecture and architectural style exhibition" with buildings from different eras: a Renaissance palace next to the post-war architecture of the 1950s, behind it the Romanesque Hof zum Schwanz, Balthasar Neumann's baroque department store opposite the Gothic church... and in the middle the square an original fountain in the fashion of "revolutionary classicism". All of this is, among other things, the beautiful setting for Würzburg's green weekly market.Rathaus Wuerzburg
