  • This was a very busy place when we were there. There are no photos in the museum, but there were a lot of beautiful items on display. Once you are done with the museum you are led into the gift...

  • The only reason I gave 4 stars is because we were not allowed to visit the museum inside the store, as we did not have our Schnelltest, which is rather ridiculous as we were crowded in the store...

  • Beautiful!! This Christmas market was stunning!! It has everything you can think of, mainly hand made! The wood work was so beautiful, metal work too. All the hand painted glass, and wood ornaments. Everything in this place was out of this world and magical. Even if you are not into Christmas markets and not planning to buy anything you still have to check it out. It's a unique place with a wonderful vibe.
  • An amazing experience that I never thought about & never had the idea that it really exists! The place is so good for adults & kids, where it shows you the history of the Christmas celebrations &ً everything related to it. Loved the decorations inside, the ornaments were so creative & new, & the information inside the museum were so informative & rich. The way they are showing the stuff is very clear. The museum ticket is for 5€ per adult, and the place starts by a gift shop which for me is the hugest so far. A bit expensive if you are wishing to buy something from the gift shop. Worth visiting if you are having a day tour in Rothenburg & highly recommended for families. Kids will love it as well as their parents.
