Rothenburg ob der Tauber is a popular small city to visit in the German state of Bavaria. Its well-preserved medieval old town is the big drawcard. It has been a popular destination for tourism since artists discovered the town in the 1880s. It survived World War II relatively unharmed, keeping its charming character.
