Chauffeur's tipFor hotels near the Residence or the Old Main Bridge, give the exact name; your chauffeur will use the nearest accessible street in the old town.
The route north through Swabia
Your chauffeur leaves Geneva Airport on the Swiss A1 along Lake Geneva and across the plateau via Bern to the Zurich area, then heads north to Schaffhausen, where the route crosses the border into Germany. The A81 continues north past Stuttgart and Heilbronn, through the Hohenlohe plateau and into the Tauber valley area, ending close to Würzburg at its junction with the A3. Vineyard slopes along the Main greet you on arrival.
Arriving in Würzburg
Drop-offs include hotels near the Residence and the cathedral, the university campuses at Hubland and in the centre, the university hospital, the Marienberg Fortress and wine estates in the surrounding villages such as Randersacker or Sommerhausen. Private addresses anywhere in the city are reached directly, and the chauffeur helps with your bags. Parts of the old town are pedestrianised or have restricted access, so an exact address helps the chauffeur choose the best approach.
