Question 1

What are the major attractions in Bayreuth?

Accepted Answer

If your trip to Bayreuth is all organized but your travel itinerary is looking a little empty, let us give you a few hints and tips.

Richard Wagner Museum and Margrave's Opera House are interesting attractions that all travelers should make time to stop by. Map out your route and spend an hour or so taking in each one.

Close to the center, Festspielhaus is one spot you might like to consider putting on your to-do list. If you still have some room on that itinerary, Bayreuth New Palace and Hermitage Old Palace will keep you occupied too.

Question 2

What are the best road trip destinations near Bayreuth?

Accepted Answer

Don't just journey from A to B. Get more out of your rental car by making a pit stop at Bamberg. Only 30 miles from Bayreuth, it features excellent attractions like Bamberg Cathedral and New Residence. Nuremberg, 40 miles away, is another destination that's worth the trek. Check out Nuremberg Castle and Nuremberg Zoo, two popular attractions in the area.

Question 3

Where are the best convention centers near Bayreuth?

Accepted Answer

If you're here to attend a work conference, you'll find Oberfrankenhalle situated 0.4 miles away. During the break, make your way to a nearby restaurant to grab some food — networking and socializing can be tiring.

Question 4

What kind of rental car should I get for Bayreuth?

Accepted Answer

Bayreuth has loads on offer. You could stay a week in this place and not run out of things to see. If you want to experience as much as you can in this dynamic metropolis, a rental car is a must. Bear in mind that driving in the city generally comes with tight streets and limited parking spots. Don't worry though, because a small, economical car can make this much less daunting. If you want to head out of the city and cruise around the snowfields that Bayreuth is renowned for, you'll probably prefer a car with a little more power. A mid-size or full-size SUV will suit your needs.

Question 5

Should I get a luxury rental car in Bayreuth?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes the journey is more significant than the destination, which makes your car choice particularly important. If you're about to embark on an unforgettable road trip around Bayreuth, a spacious SUV could be your perfect match. If you'd like a fantastic bargain and plan on sticking mostly to the city, a budget compact is a clever pick. All you have to do is work out what will suit you best, load up the car, and start clocking up those miles.

Question 6

What side of the road do they drive on in Bayreuth?
