Hotels in Rothenburg ob der Tauber

Medieval magic unfolds behind intact 14th-century walls, where half-timbered houses create a fairytale setting that draws visitors from across the globe. Follow the Night Watchman's Tour for tales of old or climb the Town Hall Tower for views that justify every photograph. Market Square buzzes with activity while museums offer unexpected delights - from Christmas traditions at Käthe Wohlfahrt to the surprisingly fascinating Criminal Museum. The Plönlein corner presents the town's most iconic view, a junction where two streets, a tower, and perfect architecture combine in postcard perfection. Little Square offers quieter moments away from tour groups that sometimes crowd the main attractions. Arrive early or stay overnight when day-trippers depart and the true medieval atmosphere emerges.
