Arriving by Airplane & Train, then by Tram
From Frankfurt Airport (FRA):
There are direct trains from Frankfurt Airport to the Würzburg main train station at hourly intervals. The main train station links Würzburg directly to more than 30 major European cities. The trains leaving from Frankfurt Airport directly are “ICE” trains, which stands for “Intercity Express”. They are the fastest way of traveling, ca. 1.5h. Regional trains are leaving from “Frankfurt Südbahnhof”, which can be reached by bus from the airport. These are less costly but also slower.
Important: the last regular ICE to Würzburg Hauptbahnhof leaves Frankfurt Airport at 22:04, the last regional train leaves Frankfurt Südbahnhof at 22:36!
From Nürnberg Airport (NUE):
Take the U-Bahn Line U2 to “Nürnberg Hauptbahnhof”.
Take the ICE from “Nürnberg Hauptbahnhof” to “Würzburg Hauptbahnhof”; ca. 1h.

From München Airport (MUC):
