Pre-Christmas lights at the loveliest Christmas markets on the Romantic Road. The “Reiterlesmarkt” in Rothenburg ob der Tauber takes place between the market square, green market and church square, and the old town is adorned with bright lights. The Christmas market in Würzburg is one of the most atmospheric in Germany. With around 100 stalls, the stalls fit into the historical backdrop of the Falcon House and the Gothic Marienkapelle.
Spices, Christmas tree balls and carvings, candles, ceramics, jewellery, toys, children’s carousels and much that belongs to the Christmas season. Of course, the mulled wine is just as important as the roasted almonds and other specialties that warm body and soul.
We had an excellent day touring part of the romantic road. I would highly recommend this tour while in Frankfurt. Our guide and driver were passionate about information and our comfort. Would love to come back and see it all again.
Romantic road and Rothenburg was amazing. Beautiful charming little town. A day to keep forever in our memories. Our guide Keiko and our drive Igor were excepcional! Keiko knows all about the romantic road and she was very patience to answer all our questions
Es war ein schöner Tag, voller Abenteuer und interessanter Informationen. Der Reiseleiter war sehr freundlich und kümmerte sich um den Komfort aller Teilnehmer und sorgte dafür, dass niemand verloren ging. Wir haben so reizvolle Orte besucht, dass ich auf jeden Fall dorthin zurückkehren werde.
Ich empfehle es weiter. 🙂
Meine Tour begann in Würdzburg.
Machen Sie sich keine Sorgen. Der Bus wird kommen. Meiner kam eine Weile vor dem Zeitplan an. Die Tour beginnt in Frankurt am Main.
Sie werden sich in diesen Teil der Romantischen Straße verlieben.
Vielen Dank für die schöne Tour.
Excellent day trip. Definitely worth the price. Keiko the guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. It’s 10 and a half hours but really flies by. We arrived in Rothenburg during a festival on 8 Sept when the locals dressed up in traditional costume etc which was an extra bonus. Bring some cash as many food outlets don’t accept cards.
So glad we went on this tour! It was organized and well worth the money. We were able to see and do so much! I loved the different steps & that we had 3 hours in Rothenburg. Keiko was an amazing guide and the bus driver was outstanding as well!
Our tour guide was amazing. Tripadvisor needs to update the pick up address. Had a little issue trying to find where to meet the bus, but it was an amazing trip. Our tour guide was the very best stopped all over she was very knowledgeable & would recommend this day trip.
Would give more stars if possible! We had the most wonderful day on the Romantic Road tour from Frankfurt to Rothenburg! Jürgen was an outstanding guide; warm, funny, and full of fascinating stories that brought the history and culture of the region to life. He made the journey just as enjoyable as the destination. We also stopped at a beer garden before our final departure and enjoyed a beer together while having pleasant conversation. A special thank you as well to Igor, our driver, who was excellent behind the wheel and made the ride smooth and relaxing the whole way. Together they made the trip feel effortless and truly memorable. Rothenburg was like stepping into a fairytale, and the experience wouldn’t have been the same without Jürgen and Igor.
