Visitor Tips: Travel and Accommodation in Schweinfurt
- The Volksfestplatz sits close to the city center and is an easy walk from downtown Schweinfurt
- Outside festival dates the site serves as a free parking lot, so expect heavier traffic once the fair opens
- Late May and early June weather in Lower Franconia can be changeable, so a jacket for the evening is worth packing
- Anyone wanting a table inside the beer tent should contact the city of Schweinfurt well ahead of time
