Rothenburg ob der Tauber is a trip back to the Middle Ages with its perfectly preserved medieval walls, cobblestone streets, and half-timbered houses. In Dinkelsbuhl, wander through the colorful Weinmarkt square surrounded by gabled houses and climb St. George's Minster tower for panoramic views of another of Germany's medieval towns. Both towns are featured on Germany's famous Romantic Road and offer remarkable examples of untouched medieval architecture that miraculously survived World War II bombings. While exploring, you'll discover hidden courtyards, climb ancient towers, sample Franconian cuisine, and feel as though you've stepped directly into the pages of a storybook.
