In Würzburg’s Altstadt, secret corridors wind beneath baroque palaces while scholars’ whispers still echo through grand halls. The surface glitters, but hidden dramas shape every stone.

This self-guided audio tour invites you to trace those forgotten lines—unraveling hidden stories in the Würzburg Residence, Cathedral, and the storied grounds of Julius-Maximilians-Universität. Slip past the crowds into moments most travelers never find.

What power struggle shattered the peace beneath the cathedral’s stained glass? Who vanished from the Residence’s gilded rooms on a stormy night? And why do so many university legends involve locked cabinets after midnight?

Stride across sunlit squares and shadowy courtyards. Peer into corners where rebels dared and scandals brewed. Uncover the pulse of a city forever balancing beauty with intrigue.

Begin your journey. Step where history hides in plain sight and let Würzburg reveal its untold stories.
