Würzburg and its Theatre

Würzburg, a Franconian episcopal and university city on the Main River, with its UNESCO World Heritage Residence, has a rich tradition of theatre, music, and festivals. The Mainfranken Theater is central to this cultural identity – both geographically (located at Theaterplatz with access via Theaterstraße 21) and programmatically (a meeting point for the region and tourists).
