10Rothenburg ob der Tauber
Few towns in Germany are as instantly recognizable as Rothenburg ob der Tauber. This medieval gem, located in Bavaria, feels like it was lifted straight out of a fairy tale. Surrounded by well-preserved city walls, Rothenburg offers visitors a journey through time. Its narrow streets are lined with half-timbered houses, while its medieval town square and market are picture-perfect backdrops for leisurely strolls. The town is especially magical during the winter when its famous Christmas market transforms it into a winter wonderland. The view from the town’s tower over the Tauber River valley is one of the best in Germany.
