old town

这小镇的商业气氛没有罗滕堡那么浓，游客也较少，很舒畅。石头铺就的小巷，窗外装饰着鲜花的房子。墙外树林里的小径，白天鹅漂浮着的小湖，每幅景色都如画。这可爱的小古镇真不错。

If you're looking for the big sites of Munich or Berlin, the castles of Neuschwanstein or Harburg, or the busy streets of Cologne or Dusseldorf, then Dinkelsbuehl is not for you. If, however, you're looking to experience the small town charm of southern Germany, you couldn't pick a better place.Dinkelsbuehl is the smaller, less touristy sister to Rothenburg o.d. Tauber. The best times to visit are in mid-July for their Kinderzeche celebration (granted, it'll be packed with visitors and tourists then) or for the Stadtfest (City Festival) in early September. While there is not much to "do" in terms of big name attractions, Dinkelsbuehl will offer you a chance to experience regular German life in the middle of an enchantingly beautiful medieval town. In the summer, the town puts on a fantastic reenactment of the town's salvation from the invading Swedes during the Thirty Years' War. Known as the Kinderzeche, it is 10 days of non-stop parades, reenactments, good food and drink. You can find more information on the Kinderzeche festival here: http://www.thriftygypsytravels.com/2015/03/the-kinderzeche-festival-of-germany.htmlI have visited Dinkelsbuehl three times and already have a planned fourth trip this spring. Even though we have family ties to the city, I can honestly say that my bias of recommendation for this place is justified: the town is beautiful, the people are friendly, and it will provide a quiet, relaxing contrast to the hustle and bustle of the big-time German cities.

They still exist, these almost untouched little villages where you feel yourself being put back in time. A pity that cars are allowed in the center

We came to Dinkelsbuhl after staying the night in Rothenburg. While each is a cute, walled, restored town, Dinkelsbuhl is much less touristy than Rothenburg. We came for the Christmas Market. It was pretty small, but had the usual fare and wares. What I will remember most is the wall around the city. It was small enough that you could walk the entire outside, inside, and "top" in part of a day and see so many cute things at each turn. Seems like every tower had its own charming design. There were some neat shrines, too.

I will visit Dinkelsbuehl over Rothenburg in the future anytime! We made our way to this charming small medieval town after visiting the better known Rothenburg and regretted not having more time to spend. The Christmas Market here is authentic and not commercial like the Rothenburg market - the architecture is well preserved and the old town offers a multitude of historic stops. King Gustav of Sweden made this town a major stop during the 30 years war. I never knew and I grew up and was educated in Germany.

We went to Dinkelsbuhl for a small town Christmas Market experience. It was absolutely delightful and did not disappoint! The town is very clean and walkable and the shops were all decorated quite tastefully for the Christmas season. The Cathedral is quite lovely as well and is in the center of Dinkelsbuhl. For the Christmas season they had erected a huge Christmas tree all lit up - a beacon for wherever you walked in this darling town! Highly recommend.

We meet a german on our trip and he told us to go to Dinkelsbuhl over Rothenburg. He said You'll find everything at Dinkelsbuhl that you'd find at Rothenburg but without the crowd. It was a very fun town. We had enough fun just wandering around the streets.

The town of Dinkelsbuhl is off Germany's Romantic Road, and boasts walls dating back to 1450. Unfortunately we found there wasn't a lot to actually inspire us in the old town. It's pleasant enough and easy to walk around, and we enjoyed a lovely lunch beside a semi-frozen lake, but it left us a little uninspired.We'd definitely recommend Rothenburg over this as both an attraction to visit and a base from which to explore the broader region.

We toured Dinkelsbuhl during a Christmas Market. The old walled town has the typical Bavarian buildings and narrow streets. It was all beautifully decorated for Christmas. The town is on the Romantic Road and is a perfect representative of a medieval city. We were lucky enough to find parking in the city.We've been to Rothenburg and Nordlingen and Dinkelsbuhl stands up to both of those cities. It has beautiful houses and churches. It's well worth a visit.

We enjoyed Dinkelsbuhl Old Town more than Rothenburg. The buildings and town wall are lovely and parking is free and easy during the off-season. None of the hoards of tourists you find in the other town. Definitely an enjoyable place to wander and enjoy a cup of coffee and piece of cake at a local cafe.

He tell you the history of the village in a non pretentious funny way. You might need a translates though.

A beautiful old town. The town was not damaged by the two world wars, so medieval buildings remain.Its astounding walking around and reading the dates on the buildings.Truly a gem on the Romantic Road.

We stayed for few nights and loved the town. Far less tourists than Rothenburg made getting around and into shops and restaurants very easy. Probably only thing to be aware is lack of setup for non-German speaking tourists. Even found tourist office staff lacking and only 1 brochure/map in English. That said, if you're resourceful enough, you can get by and have a nice time. Make sure you get away from the main square and explore the whole town - there are nice cafes, beer gardens, city walls, parks, architecture to see.

A captivating old medieval town with charming well kept colourful historic buildings. Although you cannot walk the walls, the walk inside along the walls around the entire town is a must do. Make sure you do exit and walk around the small lake which has beautiful views of this delightful town. Although easily accessible from Rothenburg, there were very few tourists which just added to the charm. We had just a few hours to visit and in hindsight, wished we had planned for more.

Wish we stayed a night in Dinkelsbuhl rather than a few hours, but this small walled-city along romantic road is worth a stop even if you don't have time to check into a hotel. Unlike Rothenburg, Dinkelsbuhl was empty of tourists when we visited, the only people walking the walled town were families out for an afternoon walk and a wedding party parading through the street. We had no problem finding parking just outside the city walls, allowing us to enter the city gates and explore the cobblestone streets, churches, shops, and parks. Visiting Dinkelsbuhl during one of their festivals would mean more crowds, but a trip around the event calendar would allow history buffs to learn more of the city's Swedish rooth, or enjoy the rich cultural programs that this city promotes.
