FAQs about hotels in Rothenburg ob der Tauber




Out of a Fairytale

The half-timbered buildings, cobbled streets and brightly painted façades of medieval Rothenburg ob der Tauber wouldn’t be out of place in a fairytale. Several fantastical films have been set in this gem on the scenic Romantic Road, passing from Würzburg to Füssen via Bavaria’s most enchanting towns.

Uniquely designed gates allow access to the historic centre through walls partly covered with tiled roofs. Walking along the walls offers a different perspective of the town’s colourful flowers, step gables and towers. The town hall has the tallest tower, whose far-reaching views include the large Marktplatz, home of the Christmas market. The Christmas Museum is a year-round winter wonderland, as is the shop of Käthe Wohlfahrt, the internationally renowned German Christmas decoration producer.

On a different note, the Crime Museum houses medieval torture instruments including a ducking stool. Holy Blood and Last Supper altarpieces form the focal point of towering St James’ Church, a stop on the Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage route.

In the River Tauber valley outside the centre are lush gardens, one containing Toppler Castle, a bizarre structure resembling a house on a tower. Also in the valley is a double-arched stone bridge.

The Rothenburg ob der Tauber accommodation on Booking.com includes traditional guest houses and family hotels with a spa and parking.

    We stayed three nights and spent 2-1/2 days in the old town.

    We stayed three nights and spent 2-1/2 days in the old town. We’ve been here many times but there’s plenty to see and do. We recommend the Rothenberger Handworker’s house tour, an ancient house unchanged since the 1700s, St Jakob’s church, the criminal museum, the night watchman’s tour, and walking the town’s perimeter walls and towers. These help illustrate medieval life and how people lived back then, and how good we have it today!

    This is a stunning walled medieval town!

    This is a stunning walled medieval town! You can walk around most of the wall - stork nests can be seen if you look carefully! Every street is beautiful with gift shops and cafes. The castle gardens are great to relax in and at the bottom you are rewarded with an amazing view down to the river Tauber.

    Its indeed a Fairytale town (fortified).

    Its indeed a Fairytale town (fortified). One night stay would be perfect to enjoy the old town´s colorful buildings and architecture with many towers standing high at every corner of the old town guarded by city walls (Day view and Night view of the old is must). It has a very rich heritage to tell as you stroll through the old town wondering why this was built and the purpose. This curiosity was sated by the night watchman´s 1hr guided tour that starts in Market square. The city wall is one of amazing structure which I had never seen before that runs through out the town like a fortress hiding behind is the beautiful buildings from medieval age still preserved with many reconstructed. There are many places to visit and for me the Rothenburg museum was the best to know about the history, going back in time (approx. 700 yrs). Plenty of restaurants and food was pretty good too, best snack "Schnee ball" I wish I would visit this town again on a full moon night :-)

    My family loves to visit Rothenburg ob der Tauber.

    My family loves to visit Rothenburg ob der Tauber. The town is very walkable and there are plenty of places to explore for a few days. Check out the museum's and take your time walking through the park outside the walls. If staying overnight take a trip with the nightwatchman. Rothenburg ob der Tauber is beautiful in Autumn and magical at Christmas.

    There are many people that fleet through Rothenburg on a day...

    There are many people that fleet through Rothenburg on a day tour but it does help to have a couple of days to walk around the outskirts of the city wall, to truly appreciate the place. We stumbled upon a little playground outside the city walls and it was the best time we had. There are some good restaurants but do read the reviews; Michaelango was a win as was the Taj Mahal. The restaurants and some shops do seem to indicate a preference for cash over card. It will also be wise to plan where to park beforehand and to understand the charges of parking within the city walls. Also, if you drive within the city walls, be prepared for narrow cobbled streets and driving through ancient gateways.

    Amazing location. Just inside the city walls, parking just moments away and very affordable via accomodation. Great layout for a family of 4 - big rooms and space. Clean, great kitchen setup - you do need to clean up after yourself but no issues (dishwasher tablets & liquid supplied). No clothes washing facilities however ok assuming next location has them if travelling for a long time. wouldn’t think twice about staying here if I’m Rothenburg ob der Tauber again.

    I absolutely loved the location - it was in walking distance of everything you could want to do in the old town. The hotel itself is quite charming and very well maintained. The breakfast is a typical German-style breakfast and quite filling and very fresh. I was very impressed with how friendly the staff was and how much they wanted to please. I've stayed in many hotels throughout Europe and this hotel had the best staff, hands down.

    We chose this 4-star hotel because it is right in the historic center of the wonderful Rothenburg ob der Tauber. I received a large room, the most comfortable mattress I've ever slept in, the hotel also has private parking but at a different location. I didn't buy breakfast, the price is a bit high €17 per person.
