Is Rothenburg ob der Tauber Dog-Friendly?, Rothenburg, Germany

Rothenburg ob der Tauber is one of the most stunning Medieval cities in Germany, so if you’re traveling in Bavaria with your dog, surely you would want to take them there. Is it just as dog-friendly as nearby cities like Munich or should you keep your pet at home? Here is everything you need to know about traveling to Rothenburg ob der Tauber with your dog.

Perhaps the most challenging part of visiting Rothenburg with a furry companion is getting there. If you’re in a nearby city like Munich or Nuremberg, the most convenient way to access Rothenburg would be to take a bus tour, which is unlikely to allow dogs on board. Though there are regional trains and bus lines that connect Rothenburg to other cities, this can require many hours and many connections, making it a bit inconvenient for you and your dog. Nonetheless, dogs are allowed on German public transportation, as long as they’re transported in a closed carrier, or leashed and wearing a muzzle.

Other than trains, the best way to get to Rothenburg with a dog is probably to drive to the city. This means that the distance will probably be shorter, and the dog doesn’t have to put up with the stress of being jostled around from one train to another. ......
