10 Things to do Good for Couples in Rothenburg That You Shouldn't Miss

September 23, 2021 Jeremy Dunfee

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.

Altstadt

Rothenburg has made a concerted effort to preserve its medieval heritage, and Old Town reflects the historic fruits of this labor.

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

RothenburgMuseum

This museum explores the long history of the city, with a strong focus on the Thirty Years War.

Reviewed By GG8990 - Odenton, United States

Nice collection of weapons, including a set of Marie Antionette’s hunting gear. In an old nunnery, & a couple of rooms from that time (dating back to the 1200s) have been preserved. You can actually walk into the old kitchen. While we were there, several docents had cut up bread & had herbs on the cutting boards, so that it smelled like food being prepared. In all, well worth the 5 or 6 euro fee.

Rothenburg Town Hall (Rathaus)

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

Reviewed By smichelini2017 - Tampa, United States

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.

Schmiedgasse

An elegant residential street near the city center.

Reviewed By Traveling_with_Hank - Eugene, United States

I agree with the reviewer who complained about the cobble-stoned street. It was not pleasant on my old feet. Nevertheless I made the best of it. I’d read about the Schneeball, and decided to avoid it. But there were more tasty treats in some of the bakeries. If you’re a lover of wine, be sure to stop at Glocke, a shop at/near the Ploenlein. They have a shop filled with their own wines, and have a lovely choice of wine glasses (made in Germany). They don’t ship the glasses, but will offer as much bubble wrap as you need. All of my 6 glasses survived the trip home. There are lots and lots of tourist shops I didn’t care for.....but here and there you can find some lovely things to bring home. If you keep an eye out for the locals in their cars, and are the discerning shopper, you will enjoy yourself!

Kathe Wohlfahrt's Christmas Shop

This famous shop brings all the glitz and glamour of the Christmas holidays year round.

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.

St. Jacob's is on the pilgrimage route to St. James's grave in Spain, and should be visited for its beautiful wood carvings and stone sculptures. A peaceful stop in a very touristy destination.

Town Walls

Reviewed By janrA2759SE

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 town survived WWII with little damage. The walled city is typical German - beautiful and waiting to be photographed. Take in the entire city wall if you visit.
