Bayreuth is inextricably linked to the name of Richard Wagner. In this former residence city on the Red Main, the spirit of the composer is palpable everywhere. The world-famous Festival Theatre on the Green Hill and the Villa Wahnfried are testaments to his artistic work. The baroque appearance of the Upper Franconian city, with its Eremitage, New Palace, and the Margrave's Opera House, conveys a vivid impression of courtly culture in 18th-century Bayreuth. Alongside Wagner, other significant figures such as the writer Jean Paul and the composer Franz Liszt also left their mark in Bayreuth. The city tour takes you to the most important sights in the center of Bayreuth. On foot and in one day—of course with the necessary breaks to enjoy the hospitality of Bayreuth—you can experience the city’s over 800-year history in an entertaining and informative way.
