Car Travel

The Romantic Road is most easily traveled by car. If you're coming up from the south and using Munich as a gateway, Augsburg is 70 km (43 mi) from Munich via A-8. The roads are busy and have only two lanes, so figure on covering no more than 70 km (40 mi) each hour, particularly in summer. From there, you will continue north and end in Würzburg, the northernmost city 124 km (77 mi) from Frankfurt. If you're traveling from the north, you'll begin in Würzburg and follow country highway B-27 south to meet roads B-290, B-19, B-292, and B-25 along the Wörnitz River. It's on the Frankfurt-Nürnberg autobahn, A-3, and is 115 km (71 mi) from Frankfurt.
