How to get there

The easiest way to get to Wertheim Village from Frankfurt is to either join a shopping tour with transportation or rent a car and drive for around an hour on the A3. You can also take public transit, but it can take anywhere from 90 minutes to over 2 hours and involves at least one change. Wurzburg is about a half-hour drive away.

When to get there

Wertheim Village hours vary. It's usually open Monday–Saturday, but it’s sometimes closed on Mondays and Saturdays. The village is permanently closed on Sundays and select public holidays. Because hours can vary, checking the website for up-to-date information before you head out is best. Come during the day on a weekday to avoid crowds.

While in Wurzburg

Although many people visit Wertheim Village from Frankfurt, the Bavarian city of Wurzburg is much closer. While in the area, it’s worth checking out local attractions such as the hilltop Marienberg Fortress, which dates to the 12th century, or setting out on the Romantic Road, which connects Wurzburg to Fussen, passing through old-fashioned towns and past vineyards along the way.
