What to do and see in Rothenburg, Bavaria: The Best Things to do for Honeymoon
Walk atop Rothenburg’s city walls or climb to the top of the town hall for great views. The Night Watchman tour is an unforgettable way to learn the city’s history. And our travelers also recommend the Medieval Crime Museum (Mittelalterliches Kriminalmuseum)—it’s gruesome but fascinating.

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

The city hall of this picturesque, undeveloped village reflects its anachronistic spirit.

Centered in the old walled city. It was festooned with colorful Christmas Market decorations and market stands serving everything from seasonal favorites like spiced wine to open fire roasted bratwursts, chestnuts, and more. Specialty shops included Christmas gifts and regional traditional decorations. The Rathouse serves as a beautiful backdrop for the Christmas Market.

Reviewed By zimmys57 - Delavan, United States
On our one day visit we decided to take a look inside the place...... and let me say we were blown away. The year round store is utterly amazing as the shear size and vast variety of Cristmas decor is beyond description. Therefore, if visting Rothenburg take the time to see what I am describing and you will see what I mean.

These old city walls are amazing. You can walk around on top of a good portion of them. The view is great and it is a pleasant walk. They're covered so it's a nice walk even in the rain. You do need to be careful because it can be uneven in spots and the stairs are steep.

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.
