Sights In Wurzburg Germany

If you're planning a trip to Europe, make sure to check out the sights in Wurzburg, Germany. Wurzburg, Germany in Bavaria is one of the most beautiful examples of remaining Baroque architecture and style in all of Europe.  As a gateway to "Romantic Road,"  it sees tens of thousands of tourists every year coming to see the sights of Wurzburg;  among them, cathedrals, vineyards and castles.

1. Church of St. Mary.  Late-Gothic period church with Rococo-facade exterior.  Its an exquisite example of Gothic architecture and the center of Old Town Wurzburg.
2. Cathedral St. Killian. One of the largest Romanesque churches in Germany.  Its signature four towers rise over Old Town Wurzburg. 
3. Marketplatz. The Old Town Marketplace is still made up entirely of Baroque and Gothic period buildings.  Modern amenities are surrounded by rolling hills of vineyards and early European architecture.
4. Alte Mainbruecke. The oldest existing bridge over the Main River.  Built between 1473 and 1543 A.D., this bridge is lined with statues of Germany’s saints.
5. The Wurzburg Residence.  Nearly every structure in Wurzburg was devastated in a WWII raid on the city that lasted only twenty minutes, but none withstood as much damage as the palace of the Wurzburg Residence.  After the war, it completely rebuilt and restored to its former glory.  Now, guests can explore the palace’s immaculate interior staircases, Hall of Mirrors, and art.
6. Wurzburg Residence Gardens.  The Residence itself is a stunningly beautiful example of Baroque period architecture, but its gardens stand alone as an attraction.  Boasting cherubim statues, manicured topiaries, and acres upon acres of classical rose gardens, tourists spend long afternoons wandering the landscape.
7. Festung Marienberg.  A mighty fortress inside the city, its a landmark in itself, but tourists flock to it for incredible views of the old town monuments and picturesque vineyards.
8. Juliusspittal.  The third-largest winery in Germany, it boasts 250 meters of vaulted wine cellars beneath its historic structures.  Century-old barrels still line the cellars.
9. Wurzburg Festivals.  Not only does Wurzburg host one of the largest African culture festivals in Europe, but it also celebrates Germany’s famous classical history with the Bach Festival, the Mozart Festival, and even a Jazz Festival.
10. Nuremburg Castle.  The beautiful, story book palace, this castle is only a short ride away from Wurzburg.  Among the top tourist destinations in all of Germany, this fairy tale castle attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors.

Wurzburg is more than a destination. This gem deep in the heart of Bavaria transforms travelers back centuries to the times fairy tales are made of.
