Rothenburg ob der Tauber is arguably the best-preserved medieval city in Europe. Situated in the Bavarian region of Germany, Rothenburg was an Imperial Free City in the Middle Ages, containing to this day a spectacular old medieval section, the Rodertor Tower, a medieval torture museum, and countless churches and castles. Virtually car-free, the section of this charming city contained within the undamaged 13th-century walls is a timeless experience every traveler must experience!
