Holiday apartment in Franconia

A holiday apartment in Franconia offers you the perfect combination of independence and comfort. Enjoy Fascinating culture and experience Franconia like a local – with your own retreat after an action-packed day.

Franconia in northern Bavaria is an independent cultural landscape that stretches from the Main Triangle over the Franconian Switzerland to the Steigerwald. The region combines UNESCO World Heritage, top-notch wine production in the distinctive Bocksbeutel, a vibrant beer culture, and hospitality that even makes Bavaria envious.

The Würzburg Residence, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1981, is considered the most significant Baroque palace in Germany and houses the largest contiguous ceiling fresco in the world by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. The Court Garden and the Old Town with the Marienberg Fortress, the Old Main Bridge (Franconia's answer to the Ponte Vecchio — here you drink wine with a view of the city), and the Käppele complete the picture.

Bamberg, also a UNESCO World Heritage site, delights with its Old Town built on seven hills, the Old Town Hall in the river, the Romanesque-Gothic cathedral with the mysterious Bamberg Rider, and a beer culture that is second to none: Nine breweries in the city brew over 50 different types of beer, including the world-famous Rauchbier.

The Franconian Switzerland between Bamberg, Bayreuth, and Nuremberg is a karst landscape with over 1,000 caves, striking rock towers, and romantic castle ruins. The beer culture reaches its highest density here: over 70 breweries in an area smaller than Berlin — the highest brewery density in the world.
