Rothenburg ob der Tauber is the most famous medieval city of the Romantische Straße because it is the best preserved in Europe. It welcomes you with colorful houses, flower-filled balconies, interesting shops, and striking medieval structures.

Nördlingen is one of the best-walled cities in Germany. Dotted with red roofs and half-timbered houses, this town is extremely cute with friendly people.
