Rothenburg gets all the glory, but Dinkelsbuhl is just as cute and adorable, and it's even smaller! The buildings, however, all seem to be bigger than Rothenburgs, so it’s really interesting to walk around and look at the architecture and find the little parks and interesting streets. If you drive, you do have to get a parking pass from the... More

Still surrounded by its medieval walls and towers, Dinkelsbühl seam to be straight out of a Brothers Grimm story! Around the Marktplatz are a number of buildings, including the Gothic Rathaus. Worths more than a quick stop. More

You must absolutely explore the Old Town, especially during Die Kinderzeche (Festival). This town is romantic and beyond words to describe. It certainly takes you back at least a few hundred years. Go outside the city walls for a walk, and enjoy the view. More
