mobility
In Rothenburg's old town, within the city wall, the best way to get around is on foot or by bike. Parking spaces and the train station are not far away.
In the street
Due to the winding streets and the many one-way streets, it is not easy to find your way around the old town by car. Since you can only pass the city wall through city gates, there is a height limit. Within the city wall, there is either a speed limit of 20 km / h or there are play streets. The parking spaces in the old town and on the large parking lots are chargeable between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. and are severely limited in the city center (pay attention to the white markings on play streets!). Many parking spaces are reserved for residents. In the inner city area, around the market square, there is a night driving ban from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. for non-residents.
The easiest way is to park in one of the five large parking lots outside the city wall and walk into the city. All information about parking can be found at www.parken-rothenburg.de.
By bicycle
The cobblestones and the inclines in the old town make cycling a bit tiring. Since most of the one-way streets in the city center are passable in both directions for cyclists, you can get everywhere quickly. The pedestrian zone (Hafengasse) and other pedestrian paths are so short that you can push through there quickly. So far there are only a few bike racks in the old town, so you have to be creative when parking.
bus and train
Rothenburg is too small for buses and trains. The train station with connection to the Ansbach-Würzburg line is approx. 20 minutes' walk from the city center.
