Würzburg is a very pretty and easily accessible town in northern Bavaria, between Frankfurt and Nuremberg. The old town is very compact, can be conveniently explored on foot, and has several interesting buildings and a nice bridge over the Main River with many statues, resembling Charles Bridge in Prague. The highlight, of course, is the baroque residence of the prince-bishops, who, during their rather short heyday in the 18th century, commissioned many famous artists to create a palace worthy of their importance. The result is one of the most beautiful palaces in Europe - on the inside, that is, because the outside is really not that special. The staircase and the frescoes on the ceiling are especially impressive. The name of the WH site even includes the Court Gardens behind the residence, which are certainly nice to walk through, and the Residence Square in front, which is usually used as a big parking lot...

All in all a very worthy WH site, and one that is very easy to reach as well.
