Step back in time and immerse yourself in the medieval charm of Rothenburg ob der Tauber, one of Germany’s best-preserved historic towns. A must-visit along the Romantic Road, Rothenburg ob der Tauber—meaning “above the Tauber River”—is often hailed as the quintessential German fairy tale town. With its enchanting atmosphere, it feels like stepping into a medieval storybook. Admire the 50-meter Town Hall Tower and uncover the intriguing tales behind it. Walk through Plönlein, the town’s postcard-perfect half-timbered landmark. This triangular square, immortalized in pop culture and history, leaves a lasting impression on all who visit. Explore the Church of St. James, home to the breathtaking Holy Blood Altar by Tilman Riemenschneider, a true masterpiece of craftsmanship. Strolling through the town’s cobbled streets and 14th-century defensive walls, you’ll understand why Rothenburg is an unforgettable destination that captures the heart of every traveler.
