Nestled in the heart of Bavaria, Rothenburg ob der Tauber is the quintessential medieval town that transports you back in time. Surrounded by well-preserved walls, the town’s winding, narrow streets, half-timbered houses, and Gothic churches make it feel like you’ve stepped into a Brothers Grimm fairy tale.
Rothenburg’s charm lies not only in its architecture but also in its Christmas markets, which are famous throughout Europe. Visit the Käthe Wohlfahrt Christmas Village, a magical shop that stays open all year long.
