Wine cellars under a prince-bishop's palace, saints lining a medieval bridge, and a crane that once ruled the river — Würzburg rewards anyone who looks closely, and this hunt makes sure you do.

• Cross the Alte Mainbrücke between its twelve towering saints, wine glass optional
• Face the Residenz, the UNESCO-listed palace with the world's largest ceiling fresco
Around 2 hours, any group size, available in German and English.

What to expect
At the Alter Kranen, the baroque twin crane that loaded wine barrels onto Main river barges for over a century, the riddles begin with a close look at 18th-century engineering.
On the Alte Mainbrücke, you'll walk between twelve giant stone saints with the Marienberg fortress rising across the water — and if locals are sipping a Brückenschoppen of Franconian wine, feel free to join them after your clue.
The grand finale builds toward the Residenz, the palace so lavish Napoleon allegedly called it the loveliest parsonage in Europe, its facade full of quiz-worthy detail.
Plan for about 2 hours with breaks as you please. By the end, Würzburg will have earned a permanent spot in your travel stories.
