Wurzburg is a large city in the state of Bavaria. Famously known for its amazing dry white wines, the city is a popular destination not just for oenophiles but also for tourists. The city is blessed with many popular landmarks, but the most popular is Würzburger Residenz: a massive palatial compound and a recognized UNESCO World Heritage Site. The palace boasts impressive Baroque architecture, inspiring frescoes, and meticulously-designed gardens. Festung Marienberg, a 13-century fortress, is another historical landmark, and the fortress' hilltop location offers an unobstructed view of the entire city.

Wurzburg, and the Franconian region as a whole, really gain their reputations from their wines. Some notable wineries to check out include Weingut Juliusspital and Staatlicher Hofkeller, which both offer guided tours of their wine cellars.

Wurzburg does not have its own commercial airport, so flights generally arrive in Nuremberg or Frankfurt, each over 50 miles away. Instead, taking a bus or train offers direct service into the center of Wurzburg. Bus lines include FlixBus, BlaBlaCar Bus, and Sindbad, arriving at several stations in the city. Train service operates through the Hauptbahnhof near the city center, and thousands of routes are available to book with Deutsche Bahn. Some of the more popular of these routes include Wurzburg to Frankfurt, Munich, and Prague.
