Worms is an industrial town situated on the banks of the Rhine in the German State of Rhineland-Palatinate.

The majority of the architecture is medieval and there are a number of cathedrals and museums, particularly the Nibelungen Museum which are worth a visit.

The area is famous for its wine, particularly well known is the wine that is exported as Liebfraumilch. First produced in Worms in the 18th Century, the original spelling was Liebfrauenmilch. This literally translates as 'Beloved Lady's Milk' referring to the fact that the vineyards that first produced this wine were those of the Liebfrauenkirche or Church of Our Lady.
