For a surreal voyage, you need a magical mode of transportation. So, keep reading to uncover the best ways to travel from Rothenburg ob der Tauber to Strasbourg and tips to ensure an unforgettable journey in 2024!

The Romans founded the town as a military outpost in 12 BC. But after the Empire's collapse, German and French forces constantly fought for control for centuries. Unfortunately, Nazi Germany nearly destroyed the city twice during the World Wars. But thanks to the local spirit, civilians helped rebuild the city to its stunning setting today.

On the surface, Strasbourg doesn't seem like a 21st-century city. Colorful Germanic-looking buildings litter themselves throughout La Petite France. Whether exploring the narrow Alsatian lanes on foot or winding the picturesque canals by boat, you'll always come across a traditional tavern that wouldn't look out of place in a Harry Potter movie. However, most people know the area for its beautiful Christmas markets, where mulled wine flows as freely as locals moving through the maze of bright, festive decorations!

Book tickets in advance

Due to Rothenburg ob der Tauber's remote location, there isn't a vast public transport network to Strasbourg. Many services require changes in other cities, so prices can skyrocket if you wait until the last minute. In fact, you can even end up stranded if one leg sells out (though that's not something you have to worry about with Daytrip's door-to-door car service)! Also, by booking early, you'll guarantee a seat at your desired time and date.

Learn some basic phrases

Locals will also appreciate the effort and will likely go above and beyond to cater to your needs.
