Aschaffenburg
In the mid-19th century, King Ludwig I of Bavaria chose to build a residence in Aschaffenburg, and after your walking tour introduces you to the town’s many charms— including historic gardens and a lovely river walk—you will understand why. King Ludwig’s passion for the ancient world led him to build a perfect replica of a Roman house, the Pompejanum, next to Aschaffenburg’s Johannisburg Castle, one of Germany’s grandest Renaissance palace complexes.
