Rothenberg ob der Tauber German Christmas Market - A Fairytale Christmas Market #5

Rothenburg-Ob-Der-Tauber Christmas Market is one of the Most Beautiful Christmas Markets in Germany. The smell of gluhvein and roasted almonds, the illumination by thousands of fairy lights and the festive music provided by local brass bands.
Once a year, the medieval town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber transforms itself into a fairytale winter wonderland. Ever since the 15th century, the festive time prior to Christmas has been accompanied by a delightful Christmas Market. Looking back on over 500 years of tradition little has changed over the years and the historical customs have been closely followed.
Holding true to traditions the narrowly winding streets and picturesque squares around the town hall and its archways are lined with wooden booths, appropriately decorated for the Christmas season.
