Clear comparison

Rothenburg ob der Tauber

Bavaria · Germany

Admission and costs
Reiterlesmarkt admission is free. Food, purchases, museums and guided visits cost extra; the German Christmas Museum above the Käthe Wohlfahrt shop is a cultural visit with its own admission, not a free market section.
Getting there
Trains reach Rothenburg ob der Tauber via Steinach; the tourist board places the station a few minutes’ walk from the Old Town. Head towards the walls and Marktplatz for the Reiterlesmarkt core, then explore the neighbouring squares on foot.
Time to allow
Allow around 3 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
The German Christmas Museum at Herrngasse 1 displays historic decorations, nutcrackers and Christmas pyramids. Access is through the Käthe Wohlfahrt shop and upstairs; museum admission is separate from browsing the shop.
