    Würzburg Old Main Bridge is a meeting place for young and old. It's tradition to meet at the bridge and have some wine and onion cake.... and the cake was actually pretty good 👍 Old Main Bridge was rebuilt 1473–1543 to replace the destroyed Romanesque bridge dated from 1133. The main reason for tourists and locals to visit the bridge is the 'Brückenschoppen' which means to enjoy a glass of local Franken wine. And because of this tradition, the bridge is also known as Wine Bridge of Würzburg! Wine pries range from. 10€ to 5.50€. The tables set up on the bridge in front of the wine restaurant are for table service and waiters will come to serve you. There is a small premium for that. Otherwise you line up and get it yourself. There is a 5€ glass deposit. You get it back when you return the glasses. You are not allowed to set the glass on the railing (like I did in the photo) or you get in trouble lol. Just get told not to do it 😊 I would say, this is another must see/must visit place/city in Germany!!!! Easy to get to once in Würzburg. You can't miss it. We did a walking tour of the city and the guide brought us here. Really not far to walk anywhere downtown. We visited in Beginning of October 2023. Just before the students came back to school... in about a week there were approximately 34,000 students coming back. #lovetotravel #travellife #germany #wurzburg #vikingcruises #europe #thnkful #borntotravel #friends #WineBridge

    Scenic, old architecture, beautiful and relaxing. Don’t forget to buy a glass of wine from the shops at the end of the bridge. This is the heart of Würzburg. Always bustling with lots of people around, standing with a glass of wine and admiring the beauty of the city with fortress and riverfront on one side and the beautiful vineyards on the other side. A historical cobblestone bridge which looks a lot like the replica of the famous Charles bridge in Prague, with the statutes dating from 18th century standing on both the sides. It is a recommended place to watch the sunsets as you can observe the sky changing the shades across the vineyards.

    It's the most romantic place I have recently seen. So many couples were there hugging and kissing each other. Seemed like an ideal kissing 💋 spot.

    i recommend to go there as early as possible! if you go there a bit late is pack of so much people. side of the bridge theres a wine restaurant. You can bus some glass of wine and stay at the side of the bridge while drinking. Bridge was beautiful and the view to the Fortress castle you can see through.

    The ancient medieval stone bridge. I sincerely recommend couples to taste the local wine and stroll on the bridge to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

    There is plenty to interest and divert in Würzburg. Museums, bars, restaurants and beautiful streets bound. What makes the Main Bridge worth your time? Well, there is the draw of drinking a glass of fine wine with a view of the vineyards that produced it. There is the chance to see just how impressive the River Main is. Wide, fast flowing, wild and exciting. There is a romantic aspect, the atmosphere is relaxed and enjoyable even if you just want to walk and enjoy the views. Oh, and it is free. We didn't drink, but we did stop to enjoy the view. It is busy but if you are in the city you must stop by.

    Cool old bridge to wall across and savor a glass of German wine. You can buy a glass at the foot the bridge from two different wine sellers. Pay a deposit for the glass in cash and get it back when you return.

    Die Brücke wurde bereits im 12. Jahrhundert errichtet . Auf ihr stehen die 12 " Brückenheiligen " , die in enger Beziehung zu Würzburg standen , seit dem 18. Jahrhundert . Am Anfang der Brücke kann man sich n Glas Wein holen und damit dann einmal über die Brücke und zurück schlendern . Sehr sehenswert mit tollem Blick auf die Festung . Muss man gemacht haben wenn man in Würzburg weilt 👍

    Sehr übsch anzusehen Lauter Heilige auf der Brücke und von dort aus in die Stadt ist‘s auch wunderschön zu fotografieren. Überhaupt hat uns Würzburg sehr gut gefallen.

    A very busy, touristy bridge. If you've been around Europe a little, you've probably seen this before with fewer crowds. It's in the city center and the nicest way across the river, but I wouldn't view it as an urgent attraction by itself.

    The most favorite place to sip a glass of wine, watching cruise ships going through the lock on the Main river and having a beautiful view onto the castle and old town. This the best place to relax in Würzburg.

    One of Würzburg ’s most iconic landmarks. Best time to be here, from my experience, its crack of dawn or dusk to catch the sunset. Early Sundays AM are also a good bet for great photo ops minus the crowds. Late afternoon, it gets super festive and busy when the bars are open and enjoy the “Brückenschoppen”🍷🍷

    Amazing views off the Old Main Bridge that allow you to see both sides of the river, but also a straight view down Alte Mainbrucke (both the town hall and church). Highly recommend coming here both during the day and evening, as you can simply stroll and enjoy with some wine.

    Great landmark in Würzburg. You can see the castle and enjoy local wine.

  • 5/5 Aamir N. 6 months ago on Google
    Main Bridge at Wurzburg is a lively place, particularly during evenings. It almost feels like entire Wurzburg reaches there to spend some good time 😊 With the pleasant surroundings, clean air and nice food/drinks, people can be seen having a great time. The architecture of castle in the backdrop, adds to the beauty and charm of the place. If you like ice cream, there is a wonderful place nearby. 😊 Awesome!!!!

    One of the main touristic highlights in the city, particularly popular because of the astonishing view on the river and the fortress on the hill. Very atmospheric tradition is to take a glass of local rose wine or aperol and drink it on the bridge directly over the river. But be ready to meet a 100m queue before the wine shop on holidays. My recommendation is to visit this place in the late Spring or early Summer.

    Ein beeindruckendes Bauwerk, leider war von ihm nicht viel zu sehen. Ich war am dritten Oktober da. Massen von Menschen alle mit einem Glas Wein in der Hand. Was ja auch legitim ist, bin dann hoch zum Schloss von wo man eine herrliche Aussicht auf die Brücke hatte. Eine fantastische Stadt. Eine Reise wert.

    Hier scheint man sich zu treffen um Wein zu trinken. Der Blick auf die Marienburg und den Main werden nur durch den im Wasser treibenden Müll und die herum liegenden Weinflaschen getrübt. Viele Menschen, viel Müll und einiges landet wohl im Wasser und davor. Sonst ist es erstaunlich wie viele Leute sich hier treffen.

    Old small town but great bridge with nice view This place is where people should go and relax. Restaurants nearby offer the visitors to drink a glass of wine or beer in the bridge itself. Ice place to take plenty of photos and spend your time especially weekend.

    Bridge offers a great view of Marienburg Fortress. Pleasant to walk - fine weather today - not crowded.

    It's an old historical bridge. I found some similarities with Prague Charles Bridge. I have spent some nice evenings there.

    Old city old small but stunning bridge. This place is where people should go and relax. Restaurants nearby offer the visitors to drink a glass of wine or beer in the bridge itself. I’ve never seen this before! Such a great day😌

    Very beautiful bridge, you can get some wine and enjoy the beautiful sunset and the impressive views!

  • 5/5 A G. 6 months ago on Google
    The Mainbrücke in Würzburg offers great views of the Main River, as well as on the old town and the palace. The bridge's iconic statues and its old stones, as well as the fact that it is a completely pedestrian axis, make it a must-see attraction for visitors exploring this picturesque german city.

    Traveling through Deutschland we stopped at this beautiful city and this beautiful historical site. Get a glass or Weiss or Rotwein and take in the site. Very picturey

  • 5/5 Tanay P. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely a splendid place to catch a good view of the city and the Würzburg Residence. Don't forget to try the wine from one of the shops at the ends of the bridge.

  • 5/5 Daiana A. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful place. Especially in summer, it is surrounded by bakeries, ice cream shops, restaurants and is well known for its wines. People are usually on the bridge drinking wine and enjoying the scenery. It is always crowded but it is a beautiful place in the city of Würzburg and worth a visit.

  • 5/5 Gashian C. 2 years ago on Google
    Not even sure where to begin. This area was lovely, the statues on both sides of the bridge were lovely to see. The river itself was also nice

  • 5/5 Le Trung D. 2 years ago on Google
    I have lived in Germany for 3 years and this is the city I recommend to travel. Restaurants, sushi, bubble tea, you can find everything here.

  • 5/5 Katerina V. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful Alte Mainbrücke :) with statues of saints and historical figures reminds me of good old days💯💫 Absolutely must see for those who want to experience a Baroque city spirit and an amazing landskape of Würzburg city💚

  • 5/5 Edin H. 1 year ago on Google
    Built in 15 century and restored couple of times, the oldest bridge on the Main in Würzburg got its sculptures in 18th century. The views on the city and Marienberg are stunning.

    Nice to see well kept clean town. It's worth exploring. Took a train ride round the town to explore and hear it's history. Also get some wine on the bridge and have a drive. Everyone does it

  • 5/5 Mirko C. 1 year ago on Google
    Beutiful atmosfere and view. Lot of peoople drinking wine, speak and laughing. On the bridge you can buy a glass of wine which is so good. If you are at Wurzburg, you have to visit the bridge.

  • 5/5 Edward R. 1 year ago on Google
    A beautiful medieval bridge. In the evenings you can even buy a glass of wine from the wine stores that are by the bridge and enjoy the view and atmosphere of the scene. I recommend at visit.

  • 5/5 Mike W. 1 year ago on Google
    Great town to visit. Lot to see. Beautiful walks. The Alte Mainbrücke is the oldest bridge over the Main in Würzburg. In the 18th century, twelve sand statues of saints and rulers were built on the bridge. To this day you can admire sculptures there depicting: Saint. Totnana, St. Kolonata and Saint. Kiliana from Würzburg, Saint. Frederick, bishop and one of the patrons of Prince Bishop Friedrich Carl von Schönborn, Saint. Joseph depicted with young Jesus, the Blessed Virgin Mary, Saint. John of Nepomuk, Saint. Karol Boromeusz, one of the most important representatives of Catholic reform and the second patron of bishop Friedrich Prince Carl von Schönborn, Saint. Burkard, the first bishop of Würzburg, St. Bruno, bishop of Würzburg and builder of the cathedral in Würzburg, Emperor Charlemagne and Pippin, father of Charlemagne.

    It's definitely a beautiful city with a wonderful bride. Old Main Bridge is like a place where people like to hang out and enjoy drinking regional wine. Totally worthy

  • 5/5 dan g. 1 year ago on Google
    Leaving Wurzburg today but got to walk for couple of hours from the Fortress through some residential, cute hillside walk paths, and across the "Old Stone Bridge" into city centre. The iconic stone bridge is home to many statues and the famous "wine house", standing room only, able to enjoy some wine while watching the Danube River rush by ...

    Fantastic place in the evening, everyone comes onto the bridge to wine and dine, often on the weekends musicians play. An experience not to be missed on a hot sunny evening. There was no rowdiness or drunken behavior, went there on a Tuesday evening in July, the bridge and riverside was bustling with people having a fun peaceful evening.

    I think I fell in love with this place 💖 We visited Germany last fall. We stayed in Nuremberg. It takes about an hour to go to Würzburg from Nuremberg with Regional trains. We think Würzburg is one of the must-see places in Germany. We really enjoyed our visit. An amazing view!
