Bayreuth Festival Theatre

Built in 1872, this opera house still ranks among the best in the world in design and acoustics. Home to the Richard Wagner Festival every summer (see Events below). Just north of the main train station, take bus 305 to Am Festspielhaus. The grounds are crowded, tours seldom, and tickets rare during the annual Richard Wagner Festival in late July–August each year.

Dec-Apr: Tue-Sun 10:00-14:00; Sep-Oct: Tue-Sun 10:00, 11:00, 14:00, and 15:00
