Its position between Würzburg and Nuremberg makes it a handy stop for exploring the Franconian wine region.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors plan around weekend glider operations: mornings and afternoons can be busy with winch or tow launches, so call ahead, keep radio calls brief, and allow extra time for taxiing.

Kitzingen has a train station with connections to Würzburg and Nuremberg, but you will still need a taxi or bus for the final few kilometers.
