The Rothenburg ob der Tauber City Guides answer the questions every visitor has: where to find honest Franconian cooking away from the Marktplatz, which towers are worth the climb, what to do once the coaches leave at five and how to reach Würzburg or Nuremberg by train. Each guide is a short, opinionated list that gives the reason to go, what to order or look for and one practical tip for every place, and it opens in your browser as soon as you pay.

The six Rothenburg ob der Tauber guides
Food guide
23 places
Franconian taverns without picture menus, the town’s best bratwurst, a brewpub against the wall and the Schneeballen that are actually worth buying.
Things to do guide
25 places
The covered wall walk, towers worth climbing, two Riemenschneider altars, museums that justify the ticket and the quiet Tauber valley below.
Family guide

A whole town that feels like a castle, with towers, a dungeon, two good playgrounds, a pool for wet days and easy places to feed children.
Nightlife guide
25 places
Franconian wine in a 700-year-old cellar, the bars that stay open past midnight and what to do after the day-trippers go home.
Day trips guide
25 places
Walks in the valley below the walls, Würzburg and Nuremberg by train, Romantic Road towns by bus and lakes and spas for hot or rainy days.
Budget guide
25 places
The walled town for under €15 a day, with free wall walks and views, tickets from €2 to €5, bratwurst and bakery lunches and cheap beds.

Three places from the guides
Gasthof Butz
Kapellenplatz 4, behind the Marktplatz
A family inn on a calm little square a minute from the town hall, serving liver dumpling soup, baked cheese with salad and Franconian roasts. Friendly service in English, and a room with a fireplace in winter. From the food guide.
St. Wolfgang
Klingentorbastei 1, built into the Klingentor
A late-Gothic shepherds’ church that doubles as part of the defences, with casemates below, a gun walk under the roof and a small museum of the shepherds’ dance. Few visitors find it, so you often have it to yourself. From the things to do guide.
Toppler Castle
Taubertalweg 98, in the valley below the Burggarten
A compact tower house the mayor built in 1388 as his country retreat, still shown by the owning family with its old kitchen and furniture. Children think it came straight out of a picture book; pair it with the double bridge. From the family guide.
Play the trail, then follow the guide
World City Trail’s Rothenburg scavenger hunt, escape game and audio tour lead you through the old town. The guides take over when the game is done: Schäufele in a Franconian tavern, a climb up the Röderturm, a glass of Tauber valley Silvaner after dark or the walk down to the double bridge in the valley.
