9Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Bavaria
Rothenburg ob der Tauber is one of Germany’s most enchanting medieval towns, perfectly preserved and seemingly untouched by time. Its cobblestone streets, half-timbered houses, and fortified walls create a storybook setting that transports visitors back to the Middle Ages. As you stroll through the town’s narrow alleys, past ivy-covered buildings and bustling market squares, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into a fairy-tale village. Rothenburg is especially magical during the holiday season when its Christmas market turns the town into a winter wonderland.
