Kitzingen, Germany Cruise Port

• The Leaning Tower (sometimes called the Crooked Tower) is a museum today, and was built during the 13th century. According to legend, the wine-loving populace used wine instead of water to create the mortar for its base, which made it lean. Another says the builders just drank too much wine while building it.
   
• Across from the tower is the Grave of Dracula – or so the locals claim. While the ball on top of the tower is said to contain the notorious count's heart, the nearby Kitzingen Old Cemetery is said to host his remains. Whether fact or fiction, the upside-down crosses on the tower create right-side up crosses on the graveyard, which make for a chilling good story.
   
• The scenic Alte Mainbrucke or Old Main Bridge allegedly dates back to the Middle Ages. A picturesque point of interest on its own, it also supplies a view of the river and town.
   
• The Gartenschaugelände or Garden City on the River is a modern park in which to rest when you need a break from sightseeing. Originally built as the site for a garden show, it's a great place to sit in the shade by the river and watch the world go by.
