Würzburg has a lot to offer for students, especially during summer. Everything can be reached via bike or public transport.

A room is between 200€ - 300€, depending on expectations. A monthly card for the public transport: 50 €, however not absolutely necessary since a lot of places can be reached by bike. Food & Living/ month: 200€.

What is the food like? What are your favourite dishes?

The German kitchen is quite heavy and quite meaty and yes it is not a myth we do love sausages. Though in Würzburg, you can find a great variety of international restaurants, ranging from Italien, Indian, Chinese over Turkish. Traditional German food can be found in Backoefele - very tasty restaurant in town and in a place called: alte Mainmuehle.
