Historic buildings in the old town include a street market established in the early 13th century, well-preserved city fortifications, a Renaissance town hall (1543), the parish church of St. Martin, a market fountain with a Roland statue (1577), half-timbered houses, and the Kastenhof courtyard with the North JURA Museum and tourist information.

Weismain is also a convenient starting point for day trips to Banz Abbey, the Vierzehnheiligen Basilica, Coburg, Kulmbach, Bamberg, or Bayreuth, as well as to Franconian Switzerland, the Fichtel Mountains, or the Franconian Forest.

Cycling enthusiasts should note Whit Monday: On this day, car-free cycling and hiking can be enjoyed around the Kleinziegenfelder Valley.

Magnificent nature and numerous scenic attractions characterize the state-recognized resort of Weismain. This small baroque town, also known as the "Gateway to Franconian Switzerland," is located in the Franconian Switzerland-Franconian Jura Nature Park. Sheep-grazed juniper slopes, barren plateaus, shady river valleys, and bizarre cliffs invite visitors to hike and climb.

A visit to the Kleinziegenfelder Valley, the Bärental Valley, the Kötteler Grund, or the ascent to the Grosser Kordigast (537 m) are always an experience. From the Görauer Anger, there is a magnificent panoramic view of the Main Valley. In Niesten, it is worth taking a look from the plateau of the castle ruins, as the former seat of the Andechs-Merani family offers a wonderful view of the Jura Mountains. The Weismain and Krassach valleys are home to a diverse landscape of mills, reminiscent of earlier commercial life.
