We started our journey from Munich HBF. You can reach Rothenburg by taking Bayern ticket for couple worth 28 Euro. But Still, reaching the Rothenbrg is not a cake walk. You have to change at least 3 trains to reach this magnificent city.

The Famous wall, which surrounds the city.

The castle garden is nice place to hangout in good weather.


Rothenburg's market square is the hotspot for locals and guests from all around the world. 



One of the most famous images from Rothenburg ob der Tauber is non other than Plönlein. A narrow half-timbered building with a small fountain in front, it is framed by the Kobolzeller tower and the higher Siebers Tower. This is must visit photo spot in Rothenburg.

Christmas Museum near Markt platz is good place to visit. Huge variety of Christmas decorations and trees.



St James' Church



The huge towers of St. James' Church can be seen from far .The narrow lancet windows and tall spires of the Church of St. James' seem to stand high. The most important church in Rothenburg still dominates the town’s skyline to this day.





The wall around the city should not be missed. It tell us the great history of the town without expressing any words.

        


There is no shortage of beautiful and historic buildings in Rothenburg. This complete city is just a historic treat to eyes.




"Sneeball" is very famous sweet in Rothenburg. It is available in many different flavours. Must have in the eating List.



Rothenburg is one day trip from the city of Munich, Nuremberg, Wurzburg and Stuttgart. If you are interested in History then this city is treat to watch.
