Bayreuth, nestled on the banks of the Red Main river in Bavaria, is steeped in cultural history, largely attributed to the legacy of composer Richard Wagner. The town is renowned for the annual Bayreuth Festival, a celebration of Wagner's operas held at the Festspielhaus, an opera house designed by the composer himself. Villa Wahnfried, Wagner's former residence, now serves as a museum dedicated to his life and work, offering visitors a glimpse into the world of one of classical music's most influential figures.
