Blessed with a rich cultural heritage and full of natural beauty, this lush vine-covered region with its many stunning castles is one of the most romantic regions in Germany. Franconia occupies the northern part of Bavaria, and its lovely rolling hills are home to a beautiful wine region. Franconia, in the north-west of the country, produces some exceptional wines, served in a distinctive flattened teardrop-shape bottle, the 'Bocksbeutel'.

Southern Franconia's beautiful countryside is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. But nature is not the only draw to this part of Germany. Franconia also offers many historical towns and cities and their Christmas markets attract thousands of visitors every year. Würzburg, also the gateway to the Romantic Road, is a charming city renowned for its delicate wines, Bamberg is widely acknowledged as one of Germany's most beautiful cities and Rothenburg is a medieval gem.
