Sieberstor and Plönlein in Rothenburg ob der Tauber at night

Day 1: Switzerland - Rothenburg

You travel via Ulm to Rothenburg, which you reach at around 14:30 . Discover the enchanting medieval old town with its many winding lanes and small squares, surrounded by half-timbered houses. The Reiterlesmarkt is one of the most charming Christmas markets in the country, with centuries-old tradition. Taken from Germanic legend, the "Reiterle" - much like Father Christmas - is a lucky figure who delights everyone with his visit.

(Optional) Perhaps you would like to join the Rothenburg night watchman on his evening tour through the medieval town at around 21:00? Listening to his tales, you can let your evening end in an entertaining way.

Day 2: Rothenburg

(Optional) Excursion to the Christmas market in Würzburg. Experience one of Germany's most atmospheric Christmas markets. With around 100 stalls, the traders' wide-ranging offering fits into the historic setting of the Falkenhaus and the Gothic Marienkapelle.

Day 3: Rothenburg - Switzerland

In the morning you have time for shopping or individual sightseeing. The winding lanes and squares around the town hall, its vaults and the market square are lined with stalls offering everything your heart and palate could desire: traditional German Christmas biscuits, handcrafted treasures as souvenirs or gifts. At 13:00 return journey to Switzerland to the pick-up points.

The Christmas Market
