Photography Tour in Wurzburg
The best photos of Wurzburg aren't always at the obvious landmarks. Sure, Marienberg Fortress and Alte Mainbrucke will fill your camera roll, but the real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, and the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot. Seek out Alte Mainbrucke wine tradition for the kind of shot that no one else is posting.
Wurzburg's Residenz, a baroque palace completed in 1744, contains the largest ceiling fresco in the world — painted by Tiepolo — and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Across the river, the Marienberg Fortress has overlooked the city from its hilltop since the 13th century. The city is the starting point of the Romantic Road and the heart of Franconian wine country, producing distinctive dry wines in traditional flask-shaped Bocksbeutel bottles.
