Short and versatile: Stage and event focus

The connection between Würzburg and Schweinfurt is short and offers plenty of room for event stops on the same day. Spend the morning in Würzburg and plan the afternoon or evening in Schweinfurt – or vice versa. Since this is a future-oriented plan, the following sections only list events that will still take place during the year and link to official event calendars.

Würzburg: Upcoming highlights and recurring formats

Würzburg continuously publishes new dates. For your road trip, regularly recurring formats are suitable, which will also take place in the coming months and next season:

• Wine and gourmet festivals: Würzburg and the vineyards along the Main offer several dates each year with a regional focus. The exact dates are announced in the city calendar and by the Franconian wine organizations.
• Cultural and music series: Seasonal concert series, open-air formats, and city festivals are announced early and can be well planned as an evening conclusion to the stage.
• Museum and exhibition specials: Major venues in Würzburg host changing special exhibitions, which are scheduled in advance and enable weather-independent stops.

Check the official calendars shortly before departure for dates, tickets, and up-to-date information.

Schweinfurt: Art, city center festivals and Main riverside program – on the agenda for the future

Schweinfurt positions itself with art and cultural programs as well as city center events. For your next travel dates, the following are particularly suitable:

• Changing exhibitions: Program points at the Kunsthalle Schweinfurt and the Museum Georg Schäfer are announced well in advance and offer plannable cultural stops.
• City center and music formats: City festivals, weekly market specials, Sunday shopping events, and music nights are listed in the city's event calendar for the coming months.
• Main riverside events: Seasonal open-air formats along the river are published in good time – ideal as a conclusion after an afternoon in the museums.

All dates are continuously updated. Use the city platforms for the final coordination of your travel plan.

• Ticketing: Many events offer advance ticket contingents. Reserve early, especially for weekend and holiday dates.
• Time frame: Despite the short travel time, you should plan for admission windows, security checks, and travel times between locations.
