2014 Germany Trip - 1 Day Trip to Worms (with itinerary)

Location: Worms, Germany


Itinerary and full experience of my visit to Germany can be accessed through the link below:


The name of the city is as intriguing as it is funny to the English speaker. Who would name their own city to associate with critters of Earth? A little digging around the Net revealed that its original name was from the Latin "Vormatia" - "settlement in a watery area". It was originally a village founded by Celts before it evolved into a larger settlement later. Due to the German way of pronouncing "V" in the same manner as the English "W", the name somehow turn out to become the current one that we knew of.
