Rothenburg has made a concerted effort to preserve its medieval heritage, and Old Town reflects the historic fruits of this labor.

Christmas market we took our granddaughter to see the Christmas markets in Germany in the city and the Christmas market was a wonderful experience. The time itself without the Christmas market is a worthwhile experience because it had very little damage from the war And a lot of the structures are still intact if you are in Germany it’s a definite place you have to visit

An elegant residential street near the city center.

I agree with the reviewer who complained about the cobble-stoned street. It was not pleasant on my old feet. Nevertheless I made the best of it. I’d read about the Schneeball, and decided to avoid it. But there were more tasty treats in some of the bakeries. If you’re a lover of wine, be sure to stop at Glocke, a shop at/near the Ploenlein. They have a shop filled with their own wines, and have a lovely choice of wine glasses (made in Germany). They don’t ship the glasses, but will offer as much bubble wrap as you need. All of my 6 glasses survived the trip home. There are lots and lots of tourist shops I didn’t care for.....but here and there you can find some lovely things to bring home. If you keep an eye out for the locals in their cars, and are the discerning shopper, you will enjoy yourself!

This Gate and tower are extra ordinary in Rothenburg, they differ from others, as here they are part of the fortified church St. Wolfgang's, making church outside fortified, inside spiritual. This combination gives to Klingentor unique and different construction and look. Looking from different directions (in/out) you can't believe that it is same place. It is located north side of the city and less visited than rest of the gates.

The most iconic point of Rothenburg is just at the entrance, in the junction of two streets. It really takes the traveller to middle ages. Unforgettable.
