Bayreuth

Bayreuth, the festival city in Upper Franconia, is a true highlight for anyone traveling along the Road of German Unity or on a convertible tour through Southern Germany. The historic city combines baroque elegance with world-renowned music history and is nestled in a gentle, green hilly landscape that is perfect for extended drives with the top down.

Bayreuth – Where Culture Meets History

Bayreuth is especially famous for the Richard Wagner Festival, which attracts visitors from all over the world each year. The Festspielhaus on the Green Hill is one of the most significant opera stages in the world – and the drive there along the winding avenues is a true experience in a convertible. The historic city center, with the New Palace, the Margrave Opera House (UNESCO World Heritage), and the Court Garden exudes an elegant atmosphere that perfectly suits a stylish stopover – for example, on the Castle Road or the Porcelain Road.

A walk through the baroque ensemble of the palace, parks, and historic alleys is particularly beautiful – ideal for combining culture with a relaxed city flair. Those who prefer to enjoy nature can reach the Franconian Switzerland or the Fichtel Mountains in just a few minutes.

The Best Routes Around Bayreuth

Numerous picturesque roads await convertible fans around Bayreuth. A drive into the nearby Fichtel Mountains is particularly recommended.

For those who prefer a more leisurely pace, cruising along small country roads through the Franconian cultural landscape – past half-timbered houses, orchards, and old mills – is highly enjoyable.
