Guided tour from Frankfurt along the Romantic Road, Germany's oldest and most loved holiday route to Rothenburg ob der Tauber.
Depart Frankfurt in the morning from Bus Terminal Frankfurt am Main (Stuttgarter Straße 26, 60329 Frankfurt am Main; Flixbus, Bussteig 1). Drive through the Spessart to Würzburg, passing the university town before reaching the Tauber Valley and the Romantic Road's wine-growing region.
Weikersheim is famous for its Renaissance Castle, dating from the 17th and 18th centuries. Worth mentioning is the ‘Knight's Hall’ (Rittersaal). The palace garden is laid out in the style of Versailles.
Röttingen is a small wine village and the first European town of Germany. The landmark of Röttingen is the baroque town hall.
Rothenburg ob der Tauber is a must when travelling in Europe. Famous sights include the medieval town wall, the historic marketplace, the town hall, the Gothic Parish Church of St. Jakob, and the Plönlein, an area featuring a colourful timber-frame house. Worth mentioning are the German Christmas Museum at Käthe Wohlfahrt's Christmas Village and the Medieval Crime and Torture Museum. The battlements can be traversed for a length of approx. 2.5 km.
On the way back to Frankfurt, stop for a photo in Würzburg at the Residence, the palace of the prince-bishops (1720–1744) and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1981.
