Visitor Information

Contact Tourist-Information, Luitpoldplatz 9 (tel. 0921/88588; www.tourismus.bayreuth.de), Monday to Friday 9am to 6pm and Saturday 9am to 2pm. From May to October, it is also open Sunday 10am to 2pm.

Getting Around

Many streets within the historic core of Bayreuth are exclusively reserved for pedestrians, and that, coupled with the city's small size, makes walking between points of interest both easy and efficient. Whereas the centerpiece of the old town is Marktplatz, the geographical landmark of the new town is the Hauptbahnhof. Buses no. 1 through 12 crisscross the town, and of those, about half follow a route that moves between those two points. If in doubt, ask someone at the tourist office or waiting at a bus stop. One-way bus fares for points within the town and its outskirts cost 1.80€.
