We arrived in Wurzburg in the morning, then took a tour with guide Miguel Geronimo from Portugal to the Bishop's Palace. The baroque palace was built between 1720 and 1744 replacing an older palace within a fortress on the other side of the river. We then walked through the center of town viewing the buildings.
