Worms, Historical imperial city in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany

The city stretches along the western bank of the Rhine River, featuring medieval towers, ancient walls, and the Romanesque Worms Cathedral at its center point.

The Diet of Worms in 1521 marked a turning point in European history when Martin Luther defended his teachings before Emperor Charles V and refused to recant.

The Jewish Cemetery of Worms contains graves dating from the 11th century, representing the oldest surviving Jewish burial ground in Europe with intact tombstones.

The central railway station connects Worms to Frankfurt, Mainz, and Mannheim through regular regional trains operating from early morning until late evening.

The Nibelungen Museum presents the medieval Germanic saga through interactive exhibitions inside two defensive towers from the former city fortifications.
