The reputation of Bayreuth does not entirely rest on Richard Wagner and the festival but rather on various royal castles and properties from the 18th century, such as the Opera House of the Margrave or the Eremitage with annexed park. Numerous museums and the varied cultural landscape of Bayreuth offer ideal conditions for your stay. The town is surrounded by the Fichtel Mountains, the Franconian Switzerland and the “beer city” Kulmbach – all destinations worth visiting.
