All Months
December transforms Rothenburg into Christmas card perfection. The Reiterlesmarkt fills the squares with wooden stalls selling handmade ornaments and mulled wine that actually tastes good. But you'll share those magical moments with thousands of other visitors — book accommodations months ahead.
May through September offers the best weather for walking the walls and exploring without crowds. Summer evenings are perfect for the Night Watchman's tour, which starts at 8 PM from Marktplatz. He tells stories in English and German while leading you through torch-lit streets.
Avoid January through March unless you love empty streets and closed restaurants. Many businesses shut down after New Year's, and the weather turns gray and damp. Spring arrives late here — don't expect warm weather before April.
