Rothenburg ob der Tauber is something out of a medieval fairytale -- half-timbered buildings, cobblestone streets, and a large stone wall with towers that completely encircles the entire city. However, it's not a fairy tale or some faux Disney recreation. It's the real deal and arguably the best-preserved medieval city in the world.
We saw Rothenburg for part of one day on a previous trip and we quickly realized that wasn't nearly enough time. For this trip, we've spent three nights and it's been fantastic. It's a tourist hotspot and sees large crowds during the day, but at night, it's peaceful and sublime. We've walked along the walls and explored many of its streets, marveling at the beautiful architecture and the ambiance. It's fast become our favorite place to visit in Germany.
