Donauworth

Nordlingen
Located in the midst of a meteorite crater, the former imperial city of Nördlingen boasts a fully walkable circular city wall. The 90-meter high church tower "Daniel" was formerly used as a watchtower. At the latest here we meet our first Christmas market (open daily from 11 a.m.)
75 minutes here
Dinkelsbuhl
Dinkelsbühl could be called the "little sister" of Rothenburg - just as romantic but not so crowded. It is the perfect place to have lunch (not included), your guide can recommend a good restaurant to you. The old town is dominated by the tower of the Gothic St. Georg-Church, a visit to the almost 60 square meter nativity scene inside is definitely worthwhile! The Dinkelsbühl Christmas market, located in the historic 'Spitalhof', is open daily from 1 p.m., on Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m.
120 minutes here
Rothenburg ob der Tauber
This world-famous medieval city will exceed all your expectations!

Back to the main square: Nestled in the picturesque setting between the town hall and the church, the Rothenburg Christmas Market, called the 'Reiterlesmarkt', is one of the most charming in Germany. And as one of the few, it has a centuries-old tradition, as the name suggests. The "Reiterle" comes from the Germanic legend world and - like Santa Claus - is a lucky figure that delights all people through his visit. (Open daily from 11 a.m.)

great trip
Rothenburg city was good Max was very friendly and informative Car was good walled city was verygood
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to write this review with your only words of praise. We are very pleased that you had nothing, absolutely nothing, to complain about! Please let us also point out that, in addition to the cities of Dinkelsbühl and Nördlingen (which are part of this tour as well), Rothenburg is also a "walled city" as it is surrounded by a completely preserved medieval city wall, too. With best regards from Munich, Stefan and the SIGHTSEEING BAVARIA EXCLUSIVE Team

Why this scores 46
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Christmas Market Day Tour from Munich to Rothenburg: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Munich.
How much does Christmas Market Day Tour from Munich to Rothenburg cost?
+
Prices start at $844 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Munich usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Christmas Market Day Tour from Munich to Rothenburg take?
+
Plan for about 9.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Munich is not rushed.
Is Christmas Market Day Tour from Munich to Rothenburg worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 46 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Munich, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Christmas Market Day Tour from Munich to Rothenburg?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Christmas Market Day Tour from Munich to Rothenburg suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Christmas Market Day Tour from Munich to Rothenburg?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Munich can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Munich and add a light layer if any part of the 9.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Christmas Market Day Tour from Munich to Rothenburg start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Munich within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Munich?
+
On Outty we rank every Munich experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Guided Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site Tour with Train from Munich, Munich Classic Bike Tour @ 11.30am with Surfers & beergarden stop, Dachau Memorial Half-Day Tour from Munich (Early-Start). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Munich?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Munich?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
