Wurzburg: Guide
Würzburg or Wuerzburg (and sometimes mis-spelled as Wurzburg) is in Franconia, in northern Bavaria,Germany.

Understand
Founded in the 10th century, Wuerzburg served as the home of powerful prince-bishops for many centuries. It is home to one of the oldest churches in Germany, built in the 8th century on top of a former pagan shrine. One of its most famous structures, Festung Marienberg, is a fortress which now surrounds the church.
Wuerzburg was the center of the kingdom known as Franconia. In the 19th century, Napoleon merged Franconia with Bavaria, by which the city is ruled to this day.
Wuerzburg experienced heavy demolition during a 20-minute bombing raid in 1945. Much of the city has since been rebuilt. It has been home to a large US military installment since post-World War II reconstruction. As a result, many of the locals are familiar with American customs. However, as of 2006, the military base is scheduled to close which will cause the city to lose most of its American presence.
Today Wuerzburg is a beautiful, historic, and lively city that is often overlooked by foreign visitors.

Wine
Germany may be world renowned for its beer, but its wine is its hidden treasure. Franconian wine is amongst the best in the country and Wuerzburg has been growing grapes since its first contact with the Romans. Be sure to pick up a memory that will last by picking up a bottle of wine.
Franconian wine is often sold in special bottles named "Bocksbeutel". Normally having 3/4 litres there also exist smaller ones with 3/8 litres. These bottles look small and fat.
If you do not know much about wine, buy it directly from the winegrowers or from small shops which sell only wine. They do know...Eat
