While much of the downtown area was destroyed in a bombing raid in 1945,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the numerous churches and other historical buildings have been lovingly restored. Even if you just stay for a few hours, you should make sure to see the Bishop's Palace ("Residenz"). This 18th-century edifice contains the world抯 largest unsupported ceiling fresco, created by the Venetian painter Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, as well as numerous incredibly ornate rooms. According to legend, Napoleon called the palace "the nicest vicarage in Europe".
The city of W黵zburg, located on the Main river about an hour's drive (at Autobahn speeds) southeast of Frankfurt, is a relatively unknown destination that offers sight-seers great architecture and wonderful wines.
