Old Town Historic Walk
The TI offers 1.5-hour guided walking tours in English (€7, April-Oct and Dec daily at
14:00, no English tours in Nov or Jan-March, departs from Market Square). Take this tour
for the serious side of Rothenburg's history, and to make sense of the town's architecture;
you won't get as much of that on the fun—and completely different—Night Watchman's
Tour. It would be a shame not to take advantage of this informative tour just because you
took the other.
Local Guides
A local historian can really bring the ramparts alive. Prices are standardized (€68/1.5
hours, €86/2 hours). Reserve a guide by emailing the TI (
