Spent a Saturday afternoon walking around this old cobblestone street village. Very cool…read morearchitecture and some great restaurants. Best to park outside the wall and walk around inside. It wasn't too crowded while I was there but heard it can get busy so plan your trip accordingly. Easy access, walking up two flights of stairs, to walk the wall.

My absolute favorite place in Germany during our recent visit. Rothenburg had a quieter slower pace…read morethan the larger cities we visited. It is a medieval village but during advent it seemed like a place out of a Hallmark Christmas movie. The entire village was friendly, beautiful. It is a place I'd spend more time at if we were to go back to Germany.

I echo many of the other reviews when I say this is a MUST when visiting Rothenburg!…read moreI had also read the reviews beforehand and thought, "Okay, how good can this be?" And I have to say- it really is THAT good. Such a unique experience and a great way to see a different side of Rothenburg. The tour guide was a highlight; He kept our entire group of ~15 engaged for the duration and was very knowledgeable. The history of the town is very interesting, and it really is incredible how it has withstood the test of time. The tour is affordable at around 10€ and an hour long. English speaking and no reservation needed. You just meet in the main square at 8pm and wait for a cloaked man to show up (Lol). Bundle up because it can get chilly! Overall just an excellent experience. I learned a lot and had a great time.

This tour was a must while you are in Rothenberg! We heard great things but I can't stress enough…read morehow you should make this a priority. The tour started at 8pm in front of the steps to the town hall in the main market (Marktplatz). There was a large crowd when we got there (expected with the Christmas Markets though also surprised with the cold weather) at about 60-70 people. For the hour, the tour is a suggested €8 per person which you pay at the end. There are also non-English versions that can be found on the website for time & location. The tour did require walking but not a lot, we strolled from the Marktplatz down the main road and then outside the west gate and then back with multiple stops and stories along the way. You'll learn a lot of history of this medieval city and also have many laughs along the way. The night watchman was a great story teller and had a lot of tips along the way for your remaining time in Rothenberg. Don't miss this tour on your trip and if possible do earlier in your time here.
