Opening hours and guided tours

Current information

12 to 17 May 2026: Ciceroni instead of guided tours

Due to several major events taking place on Residenzplatz as part of the Catholic Day, no guided tours will be offered at the Würzburg Residence between 12 and 17 May 2026. Instead, our expert guides will be available in the museum rooms to answer your questions as ‘Ciceroni’.
The Residence can be visited during regular opening hours, but will only be open until 1 pm on Wednesday, 13 May 2026.
