🇩🇪 Würzburg, Germany | A Summer by the Main River 🌞🏰

Nestled between Nuremberg and Frankfurt, Würzburg was meant to be just a quick stopover—but it turned into a hidden gem! At first glance, it seemed like another charming European town, but climbing up to Marienberg Fortress revealed its true magic: crimson rooftops against the blue sky, the winding Main River, and a fairytale-like old town. ✨ Würzburg is also famous as the birthplace of the world’s first X-ray (discovered here by Wilhelm Röntgen!). Though small (easily explored in half a day), the real joy is sitting on the hillside, gazing at the breathtaking view. And oh—the weather here is moody! ☀️☁️🌧️ 🏛️ Must-See Sights ⛪ Marienkapelle (Madonna Chapel) A 14th-century Gothic masterpiece, built by citizens (not the Church—so it’s technically just a "chapel"!). ⛪ Neumünster (New Minster) A Romanesque church founded to honor St. John the Evangelist—medieval vibes! ⛪ Würzburg Cathedral (Dom St. Kilian) Twin 105m towers, 1,000+ years old—a landmark of Franconian architecture. 🏰 Würzburg Residence The prince-bishop wanted a palace to rival Vienna’s Schönbrunn—and boy, did he succeed! Baroque opulence at its finest. 🏰 Marienberg Fortress A 500-year prince-bishop stronghold, later conquered by Sweden’s King Gustavus Adolphus. Pro tip: Take the bus up, then walk down for epic river & city views! ⛪ Käppele (Pilgrimage Church) A baroque hilltop sanctuary—worth the 256-step climb for the close-up beauty. 🚂 Getting There From Nuremberg or Frankfurt (perfect stopover!). Trains run frequently—Würzburg HBF is well-connected. 🌟 Why Visit? Postcard-perfect panoramas from Marienberg. History + wine (Franconian vineyards are legendary!). Compact & walkable—ideal for a day trip. 📸 #Würzburg #GermanyTravel #HiddenGems #RomanticRoad #BaroqueBeauty #SummerInGermany 🌿
