Würzburg Residenz: Private Guided Palace & Fresco Masterpiece

Step inside one of Europe's greatest Baroque palaces — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — with a private expert guide who unlocks the stories behind Tiepolo's breathtaking ceiling fresco, the largest in the world, and the gilded Imperial Hall.

What to expect

Your private guide meets you at the palace gates and leads you through the magnificent Vestibule and up the monumental staircase beneath Tiepolo's jaw-dropping ceiling fresco. You'll linger in the White Hall and gilded Imperial Hall without the pressure of a moving group. The Hofgarten — a perfectly restored Baroque garden — caps the visit with a serene stroll and views of the palace facade.
