Discover Rothenburg ob der Tauber

It doesn’t get more magical than Rothenburg ob der Tauber. This fairytale-like medieval town in Bavaria is one of Germany’s crowning jewels, exuding charm at every turn. A must-visit spot along the Romantic Road, it stuns visitors with its half-timbered houses, cobbled alleys and towered walls. So, if you’re planning to include this southern gem in your itinerary, we’re here to help you get organised.

Our guide explores the best things to do in Rothenburg, its fascinating history and must-try restaurants.
