Apart from the magnificent Neuschwanstein Castle, Rothenburg is definitely the most famous spot you will come across alongside the Romantic Road in Germany. It is recommended to go there either late in the afternoon or real early in the morning. For a simple reason: This place is very crowded with tourists all day long and this takes away much of the romantic you can truly find here. Over two million visitors a year speak for itself.

But if you stick with the early birds, you can enjoy a truly fantastic visit to one of the most beautiful towns in Germany. Or you stay overnight and enjoy the towns charming atmosphere late in the evening. This is a good idea as quite a big number of tourists only stay during the day and move on in the afternoon.
