The Best Things to Do in Rothenburg ob der Tauber Germany
Depending on how much time you have, your budget, and what your family likes to do, you can choose a few items, or try to conquer the entire list.
Either way, we are pretty sure that you will fall in love with Rothenburg ob der Tauber.
1. Wander Rothenburg’s Old Town
One of our favourite things to do in Rothenburg was to just walk around and explore the shops and streets.
After all, the town with its colourful houses, cobblestone lanes, and pretty squares, is the main attraction!
Rothenburg is actually quite walkable. Most of the attractions we mention in this guide are all within a 15-20 minute radius.
So once you are within the city walls, there is no need to worry about driving or public transportation!
And since Rothenburg is relatively small, you could explore most of the city in 2-3 hours.
Of course, if you are interested in learning more about the town as you stroll, a guided walking tour may just be the thing!
2. Explore the Tower Trail (Turmweg)
Another great way to see the town is to explore the Tower Trail. This route takes you up and along Rothenburg’s famous fortification walls, and into the many restored towers.
With 42 out of the 70 original towers still standing, the Tower Trail covers about 2.5 miles (4 km) and takes about 2-3 hours to complete.
But if you are short on time, you will find stairs throughout the Old Town that serve as both entrances and exits from the Tower Trail.
Walking along the covered walls not only gives you an opportunity to see the city from above but there are also information plaques inside, giving you information on Rothenburg’s history.
You will also get a beautiful view of the rolling hills and vineyards of the Tauber Valley outside of the town’s gates.
We found the Tower Trail to be quite safe for families with younger children. There are railings and small openings for the kids to look through.
The walkways are quite narrow in some places, however, so it may be tricky to maneuver if the trail is busy.
The Tower Trail is open 24 hours a day and is completely free to use.
3. Visit The Historical Vault Museum
Located under the Rathaus (Town Hall), the Historical Vault Museum features 12 ancient dungeons that give you a peek into what life was really like during the Thirty Year War.
The museum showcases military equipment like ancient weapons, uniforms, flags and other artifacts. You will even learn about where one of Rothenburg’s mayors died.
You will also be given the opportunity to see the Imperial Dungeon. This is one of the twelve and is considered Rothenburg’s oldest prison.
The Imperial Dungeon houses a guardhouse, a torture room and three jail cells.
Entry to the museum is through a low, narrow passage that’s dark, wet and cold, presumably helping visitors to imagine how it may have felt to be led to a cell here.
Of course, this may also make things a little hard to handle for the kids in your family, so just be aware.
The museum is open daily from April 1st to November 1st, and on weekends only during the rest of the year.
Address: Marktplatz 1, 91541 Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany
Mon-Sun: 10 am – 5 pm

4. Climb the Tower at the Rathaus
Located on the west side of the Marktplatz, the Rathaus is a pretty impressive building.
If you look closely, you may even notice that the building is actually a mix of 13th-century Gothic and 16th-century Renaissance styles.
The reason for the blended architecture is actually due to reconstruction efforts after a fire destroyed part of the building in 1501.
Climbing the Rathaus Tower is one of the best ways to see the town. We climbed up while visiting the Christmas Market and it was just magical.
But just a heads up, there are 220 steps to the top, and it actually gets pretty narrow and steep near the top.
My youngest son and I were huffing and puffing when we got to the top! It’s definitely not for the faint of heart.
Not to mention, the last staircase to get out on the tiny narrow observation deck was more of a ladder than stairs.
We would not recommend this for families with younger kids.
Address: Marktplatz 1, 91541 Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany
Times: Seasonal Hours – check the website for times.

5. Watch the Ratstrinkstube Clock Chime the Hour
Marktplatz is located in the heart of Rothenburg ob der Tauber and is the main square.
As one of the busiest parts of town, this is where you will find the Rathaus (City Hall), many restaurants and shops, the Rothenburg Tourist Office, a farmers’ market in the summer, as well as the Ratstrinkstube, or Councilor’s Tavern.
The Ratstrinkstube’s clock tower chimes every hour on the hour between 10 am and 10 pm, and its glockenspiel is a must-see.
Although not as grand as Munich’s glockenspiel, this one also tells a story.
The small windows next to the clock’s face open up and characters are seen drinking from their steins.
They are reenacting the legendary story of the brave mayor who drank nearly a gallon of wine in order to save his city.
Crowds of tourists typically gather each hour to watch the clock do its thing, so you may want to come early to grab a good spot!
Address: Marktplatz 1, 91541 Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany
Times: Hourly from 10 am – 10 pm

6. Get An Instagram-Worthy Photo at Plönlein
Plönlein is the most photographed location in Rothenburg.
This picturesque intersection of two streets is iconic and instantly recognizable (just Google Rothenburg and you’ll see!).
The term Plönlein translates to a “small square at a fountain”. As such, Plönlein refers to the yellow half-timbered crooked house with its fountain.
The tower on the left, the Siebersturm, leads to the Spital Quarter, and the tower on the right, the Kobolzeller Tor (built in 1360!), opens towards the Tauber Valley.
The yellow house, along with the two towers of the old city wall, make for a gorgeous Instagram-worthy photo!
But trust me when I tell you, with all the tourists that flock to Rothenburg daily, it’s pretty difficult to get a picture of this infamous square.
Your best bet on capturing the perfect photo is either early in the morning, or early evening after all the tour buses leave.
Address: u. Schmiedgasse, 91541 Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany

7. Explore the Burggarten
Once the location of the Stauferburg Castle, the Burggarten, or Castle Garden, now marks the spot where the castle once stood.
Even though the castle was destroyed in the mid-1300s, the gardens still provide one of the most beautiful places in Rothenburg to relax and admire the views.
The Burggarten is less than a 10-minute walk from the Marktplatz, making it pretty accessible from anywhere in town.
Once you enter through the Burgtor (Castle Gate) and turn to the left, you’ll find some incredible views of the Old Town and the Tauber Valley.
The Castle Garden is definitely one of the best FREE things to do in Rothenburg ob der Tauber. And because it is a public garden, it is open 24 hours a day.
Add to this the fact that there are fewer crowds in the garden than within the city walls, and you have the perfect place to enjoy a snack, let the kids run around for a bit, or just enjoy some downtime.
Address: Alte Burg, 91541, Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany

8. Take the Night Watchman Tour
One of the most popular guided tours that you can take in Rothenburg ob der Tauber, is the Night Watchman tour.
This unique tour is family-friendly. The pace is slow, making it easy for younger kids as well as older adults who may have some mobility issues, to follow along.
The Night Watchman tour is roughly an hour long, and takes you from the Marktplatz, through the cobblestone streets and past the gorgeous buildings inside Rothenburg’s city walls.
The tour is led by the night watchman. Dressed in traditional medieval attire, the Watchmen gives a brief history of Rothenburg, including interesting facts and legends.
The Night Watchman Tour lasts for 1 hour and starts at Marktplatz every Friday and Saturday night at 8 pm for English speakers.
The German language tour begins at 9:30 pm in the same place.
If you are interested in taking the tour, no reservations are needed. Just make sure to show up on time at the meeting point in Marktplatz!
Of course, if you are interested, you can reserve a 1-hour Private Night Watchman Tour as well.
9. Admire the Double Bridge
The Double Bridge is another one of Rothenburg ob der Tauber’s popular landmarks.
First built in the 1330s, and later refurbished in the 1750s, the bridge spans the Tauber Valley River connecting Rothenburg to the town of Leuzenbronn.
The Roman-styled double bridge is unique, in that it is literally two stone bridges stacked one above the other.
The arches are quite photogenic, and the views of the Old City and the countryside from the bridge are incredible.
The Double Bridge is only a ten-minute walk from the Plönlein, so easy to get to if you are strolling through Rothenburg.
Address: 91541 Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany

10. Check out St. James’s Church
Europe is definitely known for its incredible cathedrals, so it should come as no surprise that Rothenburg is also home to one.
The St. James Church dates back to 1485 and is a must-see when visiting Rothenburg.
Located in the heart of town, this Gothic-styled church took an astonishing 170 years to build and is most known for its famous Holy Blood altarpiece.
Built by Tilman Riemenschneider in the early 16th century, the altar depicts scenes from The Last Supper.
In addition to the Holy Blood Altar, St. James Church is also home to some incredible stained glass windows, as well as a second noteworthy altar.
The Twelve Apostles Altar was completed in 1466 by Friedrich Herlin.
You can either take a guided tour of St. James Church or have the option of taking an audio guide to learn more about the church as you explore the church at your own pace.
Just be aware, that you will need to pay a small fee to enter the church and see the altars.
Address: Klostergasse 15, 91541, Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany

11. Try a Schneeball
You definitely can’t go to Rothenburg without trying a Schneeball (‘snowball’).
This local specialty treat consists of a ball of fried pastry, covered in either icing sugar, chocolate, or other fun toppings, and sometimes even filled with Marzipan.
These cookie-like treats have existed in Rothenburg for over 400 years, and we found them to be absolutely fantastic!
We tried the classic icing sugar Schneeball (which was my fave), and one covered in chocolate.
Just a heads up, make sure that you have some napkins! They were quite messy to eat, but filling and delicious!
We recommend buying one to share, which is what we did.
12. Venture to Toppler Castle
Toppler Castle is another iconic landmark in Rothenburg ob der Tauber.
Previously a weekend house for the town’s legendary mayor, Heinrich Toppler, the castle is a house perched on a medieval tower.
Built in 1388, this castle with its unique architecture can be found in the Tauber Valley and accessed via the Double Bridge.
Toppler Castle is about a 30-minute walk from the Castle Gardens.
The castle is open year-round but is closed in November.
Address: Taubertalweg 100, 91541 Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany
Fri-Sat: 1 pm – 4 pm

13. Brave the Medieval Crime and Justice Museum
Definitely one of the more unique things to do in Rothenburg ob der Tauber is to go to the Medieval Crime and Justice Museum.
However, we would not recommend this attraction for younger children, as the subject matter is quite gruesome.
This intense museum covers over 1,000 years of crime and punishment history in Europe.
Head down into the vaulted cellar where you will find the heart-stopping collection of torture devices like racks and thumbscrews.
The museum also has an interesting exhibit that talks about public humiliation, complete with a collection of shame masks.
If you are interested in the history of the Middle Ages, then you are bound to find the documents about the church and the law, the Inquisition Hearings, and even the witch hunts, to be incredibly fascinating.
The Medieval Crime and Justice Museum is self-guided only. The information signs at each of the exhibits are conveniently posted in both German and English.
Address: Burggasse 3-5, 91541 Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany
Times: April – October from 10 am – 6 pm

14. Make a Wish at the Georgsbrunnen
Located in the Marktplatz, the St. George Fountain is an awesome spot for taking pictures, or just people-watching in the square.
The 400-year-old fountain, depicting St. George fighting a dragon, is actually quite large holding 26,417 gallons of water.
Built in 1446, this fountain was one of the most prominent landmarks in Rothenburg ob der Tauber.
As a result, if you happen to be visiting during the winter, the town often puts up a glass facade to protect the pillar and statue from the cold.
Does Georgsbrunnen look familiar?
Fun fact: A replica of the statue can be found in the German Pavilion in Walt Disney World, Orlando!
15. Get into the Christmas Spirit at Kathe Wohlfahrt’s Rothenburg Christmas Store and Museum
It doesn’t matter what time of the year you find yourself in Rothenburg ob der Tauber, nothing will get you into the Christmas spirit more than a visit to the German Christmas Museum and Christmas Store!
Tucked inside a beautiful Christmas store just around the corner from the Marktplatz, the museum takes you through the history of Christmas, and how the holiday traditions and decorations have evolved throughout the years.
And the store is definitely a Christmas wonderland! I was in heaven!!
From the moment you enter, you will be greeted with an explosion of Christmas decorations, ornaments, nutcrackers, and even a 16-foot-tall revolving Christmas tree!
It truly is a sight to behold! My advice – grab a basket for your purchases, as there will definitely be something that catches your eye!
The museum is relatively inexpensive to visit, and won’t take up too much time. You can even take a guided tour!
Note that entry into the Christmas store is free, so you can shop for souvenirs, ornaments, and unique Christmas decor without having to pay an entry fee.
Both the museum and the Christmas village are open year-round and are located in the same building.
Address: Herrngasse 1, 91541 Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany
Mon-Sat: 10am-5pm, Sun: 11am-4:30pm

16. Learn More About Local History at the RothenburgMuseum
Located in the former Dominican convent, The RothenburgMuseum should definitely be on your list of things to do in Rothenburg ob der Tauber.
This museum covers eight centuries of Rothenburg’s history and features paintings, antique weaponry, home decor, and more.
But one of the biggest attractions that this museum has to offer, has to be the preserved Dominican monastery kitchen.
The oldest of its kind in Germany, the kitchen once used by Dominican nuns actually dates back to 1260!
It is also quite interesting to note, that the outer walls of the museum are actually made up of the last remains of the oldest city wall in Rothenburg from the 13th century.
Address: Klosterhof 5, 91541, Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany
Times: Daily from 9:30 am – 5:30 pm (April – October)

17. Wander Through the Spital Bastion Gate
Located on the southern side of the city, the Spital Bastion Gate is to the left of the Plönlein.
The rounded gate houses a few canons and has an area for visitors to walk up into the citadel, as well as around the base.
Completed in 1537, it is considered the newest portion of Rothenburg’s fortification walls.
The lettering on the gate’s arch says “Pax intrantibus – Salus exeuntibus”, meaning “Peace to those who enter and health to those who leave”.
Address: Spitalgasse 55, 91541 Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany

18. Visit the Rothenburg ob der Tauber Christmas Market
What would a fairy-tale town like Rothenburg ob der Tauber be, without an equally dreamy Christmas Market?
Every year beginning at the end of November, Rothenburg sparkles with twinkling Christmas lights, decorations, and vendors selling delicious Christmas treats.
Known as the “Reiterlesmarkt,” this traditional German Christmas Market takes over Rothenburg’s Marktplatz square.
We fell in love with the wonderfully decorated stalls filled with delicious culinary treats, local crafts, gift items, ornaments, and of course, Glühwein!
The market also stretches into some of the smaller squares and roadways in town.
You will find the kids’ carousel by St. Jacob’s Church as well as some food stalls and craft vendors. Try the Käsespätzle, they were divine!
I was only disappointed that we did not stay in Rothenburg long enough to see the market at night!
Address: Marktplatz 1, 91541 Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany

19. Go Shopping in Rothenburg ob der Tauber
Strolling through the streets of this magical town may be enough for some, but for us, we like to shop!
We don’t necessarily spend a fortune, but wandering in and out of all the incredible little boutiques was an absolute joy.
Some of the best things to buy in Rothenburg ob der Tauber include medieval-themed gifts, Christmas ornaments and decor, Franconian wine, unique teddy bears, and my favourite, homemade ceramic houses.
Prices in most of the shops are on the steep side, but if you find a unique treasure, it may be totally worth it!
I regret not buying the traditional “Kitchen Witch” that we saw in Rothenburg, as I did not see one like it for the rest of the time we were travelling in Germany.
20. Attend a Festival in Rothenburg
Although Rothenburg’s Christmas Market is by far the most popular event, the city does hold a number of other festivals and events throughout the year.
One of the most popular events is the Master Draught Festival (Meistertrunk) held every year in May on the Pentecost weekend.
The festival retells the story of when the city was conquered by the troops of General Tilly during the Thirty Year War.
Rothenburg was narrowly saved from destruction by the city mayor Nusch.
As the story goes, Nusch impressed the enemy general Tilly by drinking 3 1/4 litres of wine in one shot.
This story is not only reenacted by theatre groups throughout the year but it is also depicted by the clock tower glockenspiel in the Marktplatz!
Fun fact: The Master Draught Festival was added to the UNESCO German list of Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2014.
The second most popular event held in Rothenburg is the Imperial City Festival.
In essence, a ‘Renaissance Fair,’ Rothenburg transforms back into a medieval town during the first weekend in September.
During this festival, you are sure to find tons of historical re-enactment groups. On Friday evening, there’s even a torchlit procession accompanied by fireworks!
Both of these popular Rothenburg festivals are family-friendly and free to visit.
21. Go for a Hike in the Tauber River Valley
One of the best places to go for a walk, hike or bicycle ride in Rothenburg ob der Tauber, is in the Tauber Valley.
Just a few minutes’ walk from the city center, will take you out through the city gates and into lush vineyards, meadows, fields, and even forests.
There are approximately 13 different trails accessible from just outside of Rothenburg.
So depending on how much time you have, whether you have kids in tow, and what difficulty level you are up for, you will have a few routes to choose from.
Where to Stay in Rothenburg ob der Tauber
We would definitely recommend spending the night in Rothenburg. You will get to enjoy so much more of what the city has to offer, all without the crowds.
While there are a ton of options for accommodations, we would recommend staying within the city walls.

Is One Day Enough Time in Rothenburg ob der Tauber?
Although you can probably see almost everything in Rothenburg ob der Tauber in one day, we would definitely say that it is not enough time to fully enjoy all the awesome things this little Bavarian town has to offer.
The disadvantage of a day trip to Rothenburg is that you are visiting during the busiest time.
Paired with a tight schedule, you will find yourself rushing through the attractions, rather than going at a relaxed pace. Trust me, I speak from experience!
In our opinion, one day in Rothenburg is enough to decide if you should plan a return trip for a weekend getaway!

Honestly, this fairy-tale town is magical no matter what time of the year you visit. However, there are certain perks to visiting Rothenburg at certain times of the year.

Summertime is also the busiest time of year to visit Rothenburg, with the narrow cobblestone streets crowded with day-tripping tourists (which included us).
The fall in Rothenburg is an incredible time to visit. Not only is the weather a little cooler, but there are fewer crowds to deal with.
One of the biggest perks of visiting Rothenburg in the Fall is being able to see the gorgeous fall colours in the Tauber Valley.
Winter/Christmas time in Germany is pure magic. Although the cold weather and snow are pretty much expected, I would undeniably say that it adds to the town’s charm!
