Rothenburg Ob Der Tauber Getting there & around

Getting around

The city has five car parks right outside the walls; P5 and the lower part of P4, both in the northeast, are free. The town centre is closed to nonresident vehicles from 11am to 4pm and 7pm to 5am weekdays, and all day at weekends; hotel guests are exempt.

Some hotels have bicycle hire, or try Fahrrad Krauss (3495; Wenggasse 42; per half-day/day €4/8). Horse-drawn carriage rides of 25 to 30 minutes cost about €6 per person, but you can haggle for a better price. You can catch these carriages from the Markt, or hail them down throughout town. Call 4405 for taxis.
