10Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany
Rothenburg ob der Tauber may be one of Europe’s ultimate storybook towns. Its medieval walls surround a historic center filled with half-timbered houses, towers, narrow lanes and colorful façades.
Walking through the old town can feel like stepping into another century. The Plönlein, with its yellow half-timbered house and two medieval towers, is the town’s most recognizable scene.
The atmosphere becomes even more enchanting around Christmas, when traditional decorations and markets add another layer of fairy-tale charm.
