Germany

Rothenburg ob der Tauber

Germany's medieval poster child, ringed by walkable walls and crowned by the Plönlein — the crooked yellow house on a forked lane that launched a thousand jigsaw puzzles.

About this place

Day-trippers pour through until late afternoon, then vanish, leaving the lanes to overnighters. Join the Night Watchman's lamplit tour at 8pm — hammy, in the best possible way — then drink Franconian wine in a tavern that predates Columbus. December's Reiterlesmarkt is the fairy tale at maximum wattage.
