Maximilianstraße & Old Town
Maximilianstraße
The main street and pedestrian zone of Bayreuth's old town, lined with Baroque facades, cafés and shops, with the Margravial Opera House right nearby.
Maximilianstraße, commonly called the “Markt,” is a broad medieval market street. Its sides are lined with merchant houses in Baroque and Classical styles. It is now a pedestrian zone, concentrated with restaurants, beer halls and bakeries. Lanes on the north side lead to the Town Church and the Margravial Opera House, and the south end connects to the New Palace. The Christmas market is also held here in December. It is ideal for an evening stroll, with Franconian sausages and local beer.
