Hofgarten Bayreuth
Hofgarten
An English-style landscape garden behind the New Palace. A long canal and tree-lined avenue lead to Wagner's residence, making it an ideal free stroll in the city center.
The court garden was originally laid out in a geometric Baroque style, then remodeled into an English landscape garden at the end of the 18th century. A long canal and a small island form its central axis, flanked by old trees and lawns. The northern side of the garden borders the New Palace. The eastern exit leads to Villa Wahnfried and the Liszt Museum, so you can link them into a half-day walking route from palace to garden to Wagner. Admission is free. In summer, locals often picnic here.
