Terminus of the Romantic... by Venturingnow
Terminus of the Romantic Road, WÜRZBURG straddles the River Main some 60km north of Rothenburg, and can be reached either by bus from there or by train from Nürnberg, Augsburg or Munich. During the night of March 16, 1945, it got the same treatment from Allied bombers that Nürnberg had received two months earlier. Würzburg has been less successful in rebuilding itself, but a number of outstanding sights and the town's location among a landscape of vineyards easily justify a visit. Bracketed by the river and the Residenz, the old town is focused on the Marktplatz, where a daily food market ensures a lively bustle. It is called the Oberer Markt. You can find spices, candy, bread, bakery items, schnitzels, fruit, veggies, meats, cheeses, etc.
