One-day tour to Wurzburg

Würzburg is a large city located in the northwest of Bavaria, Germany, right between Frankfurt and Nuremberg. It is also an ancient capital with a history of more than a thousand years, making it very suitable for a day trip. In this one-day trip to Würzburg, let’s take a look at the must-see attractions in this town on the Main River! Main content: Würzburg Old Town: The main tourist area of ​​Würzburg is not big. It takes about 2.5-3 kilometers to walk from the station through the old town to the farthest Marienburg Fortress. I have never taken the tram in the city. I just walked slowly and took pictures at will. Although this is an ancient German city, it was also a bishopric with high status during the Holy Roman Empire. There are many churches and museums to visit, but I mostly did not go inside to visit, and only captured the street scenes from outside. Here are a few scenic spots that are easier to take photos: Würzburg Cathedral (Würzburger Dom / The Cathedral of Saint Kilian / Würzburg Cathedral, that is, the Cathedral): This church is the most important church in Würzburg, with a tower that soars into the sky about 103 meters high. The exterior is in ancient Romanesque style. When the church was first built (the 11th century), it had not yet entered the Gothic style period. Although there are churches everywhere, the special thing about this church is that it has many sculptures by the famous German sculptor Tilmann. Riemenschneider's works, I will introduce him later The Chapel of Our Lady and the Falcon House: These two adjacent buildings are also must-see attractions. The Chapel of Our Lady (Marienkapelle), completed in the late 16th century, is in Gothic style and also has many Tilmann. Riemenschneider's stone sculptures, with his sculptures of Adam and Eve at the entrance (the one in the church is a replica); the Falkenhaus is unmistakable, the only building in the old town with intricate Rococo sculptures on the exterior. It is currently a library and tourist center, and its history dates back to the 18th century. It used to be the only ballroom and banquet hall in Würzburg. Old Town Hall Wine Cellar Restaurant: Most of the old town halls in Germany have attached wine cellar restaurants (Ratskeller), and Würzburg is no exception. I dined here on my first night. It is next to the old town hall, but... the wine cellar restaurant is much more conspicuous, and there is a magnificent clock on the outer wall. Old Main Bridge (Alte Mainbrücke): As the name suggests, it is the old bridge on the Main River. By the way...Frankfurt's full name is Frankfurt on the Main. Compared with Frankfurt, Würzburg is located upstream of the Main River, but the two cities are not far apart. The Old Main Bridge is my favorite attraction in Würzburg. It was completed in 1543 and in 1730, 12 statues of historical figures or saints were added to it, making it about 4.5 meters high. This place is really a paradise for photography enthusiasts. It is located on the main road leading to the fortress from the old town. In addition to being able to overlook the fortress on the opposite bank from the bridge, you can also walk to the riverside and take pictures of the bridge and the fortress at the same time. Of course, you can also take pictures of the endless vineyards on both sides of the river from the bridge. The most important thing is... remember to take pictures of the old town from the bridge. It is the representative scenery of Würzburg. It is no problem to take pictures here for an hour!
