Nestled in the heart of Franconia, Rothenburg is one of the most visited towns in Germany, and with good reason. It's one of the best-preserved walled towns in the entire country, and a covered walkway leads visitors around the entirety of the historic walls, which are dotted with gate houses, towers, and interpretive signs. The walk takes around two hours, but there are plenty of things to do when you descend back into the town as well, including the picturesque St. Jakob's Church, the Medieval Crime and Punishment Museum, and plenty of wonderful boutique shops.
