ABOVE: Rothenburg's tourist office is on the
ground floor of the Rathaus, or City Hall, (the large building in this photo of
the Market Square).
Rothenburg tourist information
When you arrive in Rothenburg, head directly for the city's
tourist office beneath the arches of the Rathaus (see photo above) to pick up a
free "Map & Guide" brochure.
In addition to providing literature and answering questions, the
tourist office can sell you tickets for a city tour. Guided 90-minute walking
tours take place at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. daily from April through October and
during the annual Christmas Market. A more colorful (if kitschy)
Night Watchman tour is available from
April through December.
For more information, see the
English-language
tourist office pages at the city's official Web site, or visit the commercial
rothenburg-online.de.
Guidebooks
You can purchase a guidebook at the tourist office, at Buchandlung
Pyczak in the nearby Georgengasse, or at one of the other tourist shops
around town. I recommend the English-language version of the 91-page
Rothenburg ob der Tauber Guide with 148 color prints. It's published by
Kraichgau Verlag, costs only a few euros, is small enough
to carry in a coat pocket or handbag, and includes an illustrated step-by-step
walking tour of the city with excellent maps.
