Würzburg, Germany is known for its vibrant wine culture, stunning Baroque architecture and its role as a gateway to the Romantic Road. What is the Romatic road you ask? (I had to look this up)
The Romantic Road is a popular tourist route in southern Germany spanning about 450 miles from Wurzburg to Fussen.
It's also known for its picturesque scenery, charming medieval towns, and fairytale castles.
The city is also famous for its Würzburg Residence, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and its historic landmarks like the Marienberg Fortress and the Old Main Bridge.
Speaking of which, here is the Old main bridge.
The Fortress
Würzburg Residence
This magnificent Baroque palace – one of the largest and most beautiful in Germany and surrounded by wonderful gardens – was created under the patronage of the prince-bishops Lothar Franz and Friedrich Carl von Schönborn. It was built and decorated in the 18th century by an international team of architects, painters (including Tiepolo), sculptors and stucco-workers, led by Balthasar Neumann.
Oops, back to the bridge
One of the many statues/fountains found in Wurzburg
I though this was worth noting, but though out the parts of Germany I visited, they somehow installed a monument or plaque mentioning the Jewish people who once lived in that
block, house or neighborhood. The Pollak family lived near by and shows a brief history of where they where after the war.
Fountain in the front of the Würzburg Residence showing off my wife and some stranger lol

Residence grounds, must be nice to live like royalty
