 Changing trains in Würzburg by Nemorino
This particular train is ICE 583, which left Hamburg-Altona, in northern Germany, at 6:47 in the morning. After three more stops in Hamburg it headed south via Hannover, Göttingen, Kassel-Wilhelmshöhe and Fulda, and arrived in Würzburg right on time (imagine that!) at 10:30. After a two minute halt it will continue south to Munich, with a stop in Augsburg on the way.
The train on the left, on track 5, is ICE 721, which left Münster (Westfalen) at 6:03 in the morning. This is a third generation InterCityExpress which means that it is capable of doing up to 300 km/hour (usually only 280 in actual practice) on the newest high-speed railroad link between Cologne and Frankfurt.
It stopped at Frankfurt Airport and Frankfurt South Station, which is where I got on. After a nine minute halt here in Würzburg it will continue on to Nürnberg, which is its final destination.
These third generation ICEs don't have a BordRestaurant (dining car), just a BordBistro run by one overworked employee. Originally in the ICE3 there was standing room only in these BordBistros, but after massive protests that have finally put in half a dozen tables so it is at least possible to sit and have breakfast, as I did on the way from Frankfurt to Würzburg.
Since these two trains are on opposite sides of the same platform it is of course very easy for passengers to change from one train to another -- especially on a day like today when both trains are on time! Leave a Comment

 Bicycle station in Würzburg by Nemorino
While this one has some minus points, like the old-fashioned "rim-killer" bicycle stands that are only half-covered by a narrow roof, it still meets a need and is used daily by hundreds of cyclists, who can leave their bicycles here (and have them repaired if necessary) while they go off on the train somewhere.
You can also rent a bicycle here. Leave a Comment

You can get an all-day ticket for the city of Würzburg (not including suburbs) for EUR 4.00. Leave a Comment

Of course you could drive by your car or by public bus to Marienberg (the old fortess on top of a hill), BUT in case that you have enough time it makes sense to walk over the old Main-bridge and step uphill. That way you will pass through many interesting gates of the old fortifications and you will also get an idea about the giant parks around Marienberg and at many places you will enjoy a great view of the city.
From the bridge it takes about 10-15 minutes to get to Marienberg, NO entrancefee for the castle, only in case that you like to visit one of the museums you have to pay some entrance-fee. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

When arriving by car, follow the sign-posts for Residenz and right in front of the Residenz you will find the largest car-parking of Wuerzburg and from there you may easyly walk to all major sights within only a few minutes. All over the city you will also find large maps for the tourists,like the one on my 2nd picture, so you almost cannot loose your way while strolling through Wuerzburg, crossing Mainbruecke and step up to Marienburg.
The parking-fee was not extremely high, you get a ticket, when you enter the parking-area and pay at a machine before you are leaving again. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

Wuerzburger Stadtrad is an interesting school-project of the Don-Bosco-school in Wuerzburg : Old bicycles had been restored and painted newly in the colors of the city and they are ment to be used free of charge by local people and tourists ! I saw the bikes that you see on my photograph at the end of the Main-bridge, at the side of the castle Marienberg. There are some more places, where you can get them ! The telephone-number below is just in case that you have some problems with these bikes ! Leave a Comment Theme: BicyclePhone: 0931 43055

Wuerzburg is situated along the river MAIN, and using the Rhein-Main-Danube-Canal means that you could take cruises to and from Wuerzburg to any ship-able place of these rivers. Unfortunately there are not many ships going from lets say Amsterdam to Vienna via Wuerzburg, but several times a year you will be able to do it !
For all tourists who just like to watch the cruise-ships, there is an interesting lock to be seen from the old bridge over the river Main (see my 3rd and 4th picture!)

 Residence by MEdelmann
By car: W?rzburg is a crossing point of two important german motorways, the A7 and the A3. The A7 is Germany's longest motorways and it goes from Flensburg (at the danish border) til F?ssen (at the austrian border). The A3 connects the dutch border with the austrian border.
By train: W?rzburg has good train connections. All important trains stop here. Leave a Comment Theme: Other
