W\u00fcrzburg Residence<\/p><\/div>\n

The Residence in W\u00fcrzburg<\/strong> (Bavaria, but really Lower Franconia<\/strong> in Germany) is a palace in the baroque style, so count in a number of ostentatious ornaments as well as lots of marble and gold in your face. Not really my favorite but nonetheless impressive.<\/p>\n

The whole purpose of this building might be to show off how manly and powerful those 18th century gentlemen were. A giant fresco covers the entire ceiling above the grand staircase<\/strong> (677m\u00b2\/7287 square feet). Aside from admiring the art, get a guide book to read about the depicted elements, it makes it much more interesting and ridiculous.<\/p>\n

Don’t miss out on its chapel for more bling bling for your eyes.<\/p>\n

Other than that, walk around the old town around the market square to enjoy what W\u00fcrzburg has to offer: probably churches and wine.<\/p>\n

Go to “Alte Mainbr\u00fccke<\/strong>” (Old Main Bridge<\/em>) to enjoy a glass of wine on the river Main. We went in the afternoon and it was packed with people standing outside just chatting, sipping wine and enjoying themselves. In February!<\/p>\n

Lastly, if you are interested in science, go check out the place where Conrad R\u00f6ntgen<\/em> invented X-Rays in 1895.<\/p>\n
