Market Platz — Attraction in Rothenburg ob der Tauber

Beautiful beautiful place in such a beautiful city. I'm so glad we decided to stop here for a day on the way back to Berlin. Rothenburg is a beautiful preserved city and it's marketplace will not disappoint you. We stayed just outside the city wall. The wall is accessible from many gates, is free to enter and it's a great start to visit the city. As you go down and enter the main street toward the market place, enjoy the sight, the old houses, the unique atmosphere as you pass through the gate and enter the market square. It's a very short walk but you will find it takes time as you must stop, soak the beauty and make all those photos and selfies. Don't miss it! We visited at day time and just had to return again at night. The locals are very nice and very proud of their home town and for a good reason. I highly recommend to stay a day or two. It's more...

Rothenburg ob der Tauber's Market Square is like stepping into a storybook, with its charming, colorful facades and historic atmosphere. The cobblestone streets add to the medieval charm, while the surrounding buildings, with their steeply gabled roofs and vibrant hues, create a picturesque scene.

The square is lively with tourists, locals, and small cafes where you can enjoy the ambiance. It’s the heart of Rothenburg and a perfect place to immerse yourself in the town's history and beauty. Whether you’re strolling through or enjoying a meal, the Market Square gives you a sense of being in a...

Traveled here on a Romantic Road tour and though it consisted of mostly driving, it was completely worth it to see this intact German walled city. It’s absolutely magical. It’s real and although it seems Walt Disney may have tried to replicate this in the United States, it’s a sad imitation. The cobble stone streets, the church bells, the Dutch style rooftops the colorful buildings and the charming shops are an absolute national treasure! We travel in late February and the streets were vacant and some shops closed but we felt like we had it all to ourselves!

Absolute must on any tour...
