Getting to and around Würzburg with luggage

A lot of visitors arrive in Würzburg with a few hours to spare before a hotel or holiday rental is ready, and the luggage situation at the sights is a mixed picture.

The Residenz sets the strictest tone, with free on-site lockers for anything larger than a small handbag, and several museums and the theatre provide their own storage or cloakrooms for the length of a visit. Where those run out or you'd rather not retrace your steps, Stasher locations nearby can hold a bag for as long as you need, with full details on each location. The fastest public transport link from Würzburg Hbf to Frankfurt (M) Airport Fernbahnhof is a direct ICE train with a journey time of 1 hour and 24 minutes. Würzburg has a local airfield within the city limits and a regional airfield in the surrounding district. Würzburg is a major traffic hub where the A3, A7, and A81 autobahns intersect. With Stasher, you can store bags from €4.97 per bag per day at 3 locations across Würzburg.

Luggage storage and bag rules at attractions

The Residenz — a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of Europe's most significant Baroque palaces — draws most visitors, but you can't take a bag larger than 35 x 30 x 12 cm or any backpack into the exhibition rooms. Free lockers are provided on site, with just a 1 euro deposit to release the key. The same bulky-item rule applies across the palace, so travelling light here is genuinely worthwhile.

More sights with lockers and cloakrooms

At the Museum Kulturspeicher, large bags and backpacks must be locked away in the ground-floor lockers or cloakrooms. At the Museum für Franken, visitors may store their luggage in lockers or with the cash desk staff for the duration of their visit.

At the Martin von Wagner Museum, bags, backpacks, umbrellas, and even walking sticks aren't allowed into the exhibition rooms — you'll need to use the cloakroom, a locker, or hand items to security staff. The Mainfranken Theater likewise requires coats, backpacks, large bags, and anything bulky to be checked at its cloakroom before you enter.

Exploring Würzburg on foot and by bus

From Würzburg Hbf, the Residenz is a walk of about 20 minutes, so if you've just arrived by train it's easy enough to see the city's headline sight before checking in anywhere. On the bus, hand luggage may be multiple pieces totalling up to 30 kg, but anything a single passenger can't carry themselves, or that's unsuitable for the bus, won't be allowed on. Würzburg is the third-largest port in Bavaria.
