Rothenburg ob der TauberTown, half timber house is here

What to See in Rothenburg

-Plönlein
One of the most photographed places in Rothenburg (and Germany for that matter) is the Plönlein town square.

-Marketplatz
In the heart of the medieval town, you will find the Marktplatz. This picturesque square is the historical center of Rothenburg ob der Tauber. It is surrounded by a number of historic buildings, including the Town Hall, St. James’ Church, and the Town Hall Tower. If you are visiting during the holiday season, this is also where you will find Rothenburg’s Christmas Market.

-City Gates
Another thing I really enjoyed about Rothenburg is all of the gates and towers in the city.

Where to Stay:
There is a wide variety of hotel options in Rothenburg, and I highly suggest staying within the walls. It was so convenient to be able to pop in and out of the hotel for a rest or to charge phones, and not waste any time getting back to the main attractions.

Hotel Eisenhut was our choice for a night stay. It’s a four-star hotel made up of four converted 16th century mansions.
