One of the only remaining medieval walled towns in Germany, beautiful Dinkelsbühl is a fabulous destination for those dreaming of immersing themselves in the magic of historic Bavaria. A charming community set on the famed Romantic Road, the town is home to a number of characterful accommodation options. Choose to book a private apartment, or hide away in a restored 17th-century residence with chic contemporary interiors: the ideal fusion of old and new, and undoubtedly one of the best places to stay in Dinkelsbühl.

Amble around the picturesque Altstadt on foot, admiring brightly painted façades and half-timbered buildings topped with sharply pointed roofs. Buzzy cafes and bars spill out onto the street, ideal for sipping a hot coffee or cold beer in the sunshine after a morning of exploring. Local landmarks include the gothic St. George's Minster on the market square, the impressive St Paul’s Church — originally part of a monastery — and the distinctive German renaissance-era Deutsches Haus, previously the ancestral home of the Counts of Drechsel-Deufstetten. The rococo chapel of the Castle of the Teutonic Order is another stand-out.

Delve further into Dinkelsbühl’s past at the House of History, and don’t miss taking the children to see the interactive exhibits at the Museum of the 3rd Dimension. Walks around the old town walls are not to be missed. Expect the town to be especially busy during the annual Summer Breeze Open Air music festival. Book your trip well in advance for a room at the best place to stay in Dinkelsbühl!
