This is the 185 metre stone arch bridge that crosses the River Main in the historic centre of Wurzburg. It was constructed in the 15th century, replacing an earlier 11th century stone bridge. Twelve Baroque style statues of saints and other important historic figures were erected on the bridge pillars during the 18th century. What was left of these were all replaced with replicas after WWII as part of city wide reconstruction efforts. The Old Main Bridge is easy and convenient to visit as it connects both sides of the river where visitors enjoy sightseeing opportunities in the city. Another popular activity is to enjoy a glass of wine at the eastern end of the bridge. The Gasthaus Alte Mainmühle (wine bar) has a window from which you can order glasses red & white, which you can enjoy along the bridge while taking in the river views, cityscapes, photograph spots and good environs. During Christmas Market season you will also find them selling gluhwein as well.

Go grab your wine one evening and enjoy the moment. You can buy your wine from the restaurant on the bridge. It is very beautiful in the evenings, you can see the city, it is cool in the evenings, you can take a jacket on. It was a great experience for us. You can't come to Würzburg without drinking wine on the bridge... We visited again in the morning after our daily run, you can have your coffee and look at the city in the daylight.

I was on this bridge with my girlfriend during a day in Würzburg. The structure, for pedestrian use only. crosses the Main River at the city center. In each tower that supports the bays there are statues depicting various personalities related to the city. At the entrance on the side of the town there are numerous bars selling wine and street food. Many people flock to this area both to have a drink and to take beautiful photographs with the river as a backdrop.

This Old Main Bridge was built from 1473-1543. Around 1730, several statues of saints and important figures from Würzburg’s history were placed on the Old Bridge. It has Gothic-style architecture with twelve arches spanning approximately 185 meters across River Main. While taking in the views one can enjoy a glass of wine from one of the many vendors on the bridge. This tradition has been carried out for years making it an integral part of local culture.

Alte Mainbrücke was the first bridge built over the Main in Würzburg. It has been rebuilt several times over the centuries, most recently in the 18th Century. Now it is a popular place to enjoy being outside, meet up with friends/loved ones and maybe have a glass of Frankonian wine (there is a shop on the edge of the bridge that sells glasses of Frankonian wine).

A pedestrian only (plus bikes) bridge with scenic views. It was pretty crowded on the day I went, even though it was a weekday early afternoon. It was interesting to watch a river cruise ship pass underneath it.
