Wurzburg is on the banks of the Main River, along the "Romantic Road", a fascinating stop on many Rhine River and Main River cruises. In the heart of the biggest wine-producing region in Germany, Wurtzburg emanates Baroque culture, captured perfectly by the impressive Baroque Residenz Palace - this UNESCO World Heritage Site features a grand fresco by famed Italian artist Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. A hike to Marienberg Fortress, the most prominent landmark on the left bank of the Main River, is another option for active travelers. And no visit is complete without a wine tasting in the cellars underneath the city. Your time in Wurzburg is bookended by stops in other ancient German citites, like Bamberg, Wertheim, and Kitzingen.
