Brief Itinerary
Day 1
Begin at Rothenburg's Marktplatz for an easy orientation, bathrooms, and nearby cafes. Great place for kids to stretch legs and spot the Town Hall and Fountain. Recommended for all ages as a calm meeting point.
25m
A gentle, mostly-level section of Rothenburg's town wall where children can peer out over the rooftops. Keep to the flatter segments — avoids steep steps. Recommended ages: all (stroller-friendly sections best for infants–young kids).
45m
Iconic Rothenburg photo spot with half-timbered houses and a small cobbled space where kids can run briefly. Brief stop for photos and a short play break. Best for ages 2+ who enjoy short exploratory runs.
20m
Comfortable, family-friendly dining with space for high chairs and a menu flexible for children. Good choice for allergy-aware families — ask staff; restrooms are close and the venue is used to families. Recommended ages: all.
1h
Interactive and engaging exhibits about medieval law, punishments and detective stories — fascinating for older children (recommended 7+). Shorter attention-span visitors can enjoy the display replicas and themed objects on the ground floor.
