There are some towns in Germany that are so quaint, cute, cozy, friendly, etc that you have to go back to them again and again. Rothenburg ob der Tauber is one of those towns. Last time we went it was during the summer and this time we went right before Christmas to experience the home of Käthe Wohlfahrt, the most amazing Christmas store, during its peak season. Rothenburg did not disappoint - almost every street is lined with lights, decorations, trees, etc, and combined with the old buildings and old signs for all the shops it was just perfect. Though one thing we didn't expect there was the number of Americans ... we heard English around us almost all the time, we almost forgot we were in Germany. So many Americans!
Before we hit the Christmas market, we went for a walk along the wall that surrounds the old town. Below is a picture of the main street in Rothenburg taken from the wall followed by a picture of Frankie and I hanging out on the wall.

Next up are some pictures of the town at night. Most of them are at least a little blurry but hopefully you get an idea of how cozy and fun it was!
This is the main square, with the Christmas market set up in it. The market extended outside of the square quite a bit as well.
I took a few pictures the next morning too. Everything looked just as nice in the daylight:
All these trees were in front of the Käthe Wohlfahrt store.
