Perfectly preserved medieval walled town. Half-timbered houses, towers, Christmas shops year-round.
faq.subtitle Rothenburg ob der Tauber
Train from Würzburg (1h with change in Steinach). From Nuremberg 1.5h. From Munich 3h. From Frankfurt 2.5h. Romantic Road bus connects to other medieval towns. Car is convenient.
Daytime can be crowded with tour buses. Stay overnight to see it at dusk and dawn when magical. Christmas markets are packed. Weekday visits better. Still absolutely worth seeing.
Useful tips for visiting Rothenburg ob der Tauber
Stay overnight! Town empties after 6 PM when day-trippers leave. Evening atmosphere is magical.
Try Schneeballen (snowballs) - local pastry. Many flavors but classic powdered sugar is best.
Walk the complete town walls (2.5 km) for best views and photos. Free access.
Visit Käthe Wohlfahrt Christmas store - largest year-round Christmas shop. Even if you don't buy, it's an experience.
