Urban Art / Street Art

When it comes to urban art, Bayreuth has no reason to hide: with the Bayreuth Sculpture Mile, the large-scale murals by international street artists and the Liebesbier Urban Art Hotel, for example, there is plenty to discover on the streets of Bayreuth.

Africa

The Iwalewahaus has been documenting contemporary African culture since 1981, and in 1990 the Institute of African Studies at the University of Bayreuth was founded. Today, various institutions in Bayreuth continue to take up the subject of Africa, which also results in a wealth of tourist highlights.

Food and drink

Upper Franconia is considered one of the regions with the most beer in the world – and Bayreuth lies right in the middle of it. Traditional breweries, cosy beer gardens and regional specialities such as Franconian bratwurst or hearty Brotzeit platters reflect the region’s authentic food and drink culture.

Bayreuth by night

In the heart of Bayreuth, people sit at outdoor tables in a tree-lined courtyard, eating and chatting. In the middle, “#UNEXPECTED DELICIOUS” can be read in large white and pink letters.

Award-winning culinary moments

While some are still partying and others are already asleep, they are often already up and about again: Bayreuth’s bakers. Just like others who are working on moments of enjoyment for you.

Dinos and dragons

Where can you visit a dinosaur garden and a dragon cellar? At the Urweltmuseum (Museum of Prehistory) in Bayreuth, of course. But that is not all: the museum’s exhibitions paint a picture of Upper Franconia’s eventful and fascinating development over the last 500 million years.

Opera houses

The Richard Wagner Festspielhaus and the UNESCO World Heritage Margravial Opera House could not be more different – in their architecture and in the purpose for which they were intended – but what unites them are the many people who flock to Bayreuth every year to see them.
