You love the atmosphere of Christmas, and you have the habit during Christmas vacation? Although we celebrate Christmas every year, sometimes we are not satisfied because the time was too short to celebrate. If you like that you feel, then you just need to visit Rothenburg. Christmas City in all time.

Rothenburg is a small town that located in Bavaria – Germany. This city has a population of less than 10,000 inhabitants. But make no mistake. Even with a meager population, they were able to invite up to 2 million tourists each year. By riding the bus about 2 hours from the city of munich, you will be confronted with the city by mid-century design. A small town with a traditional interior city and the narrow road made of gravel-covered stone create a motor vehicle into a forbidden object in this area (which only has a special permit), and the wall 5 meters high rock tower complete with ‘bird-eye’ which keep them from enemy attacks from the outside.

Not only interesting interior cities, the city also has one other identity, the city of Christmas. Yes, this city provides a store selling Christmas trinkets and accessories. But not the usual celebration of Christmas because almost all the city has a design and the same theme. And that makes interesting, this store was displaying his wares since November. So the atmosphere has been felt since the previous month.

Want to tour in the romantic city, but was saturated with Paris? Maybe you need to make the city of Venice, or Venezia as an option. The city is located in the Atlantic ocean lips, so that makes this city always sunshine all year and deserve a choice of tours throughout the year. But if you want to do tours in the period January to March, be prepared for wet because of rainfall high enough and strong enough wind. Whereas in November until December, some areas such as Venice be inundated by High Tide.

Venice identical with the city water. This could be you know when you first arrived. When I first came into this city had gone through a long bridge Ponte della LibertĂ  and continue on foot to the ferry pier before Bacino Stazione Maritima, and then continue with water taxi (vaporetti).

In addition Lido area, almost all of these regions will not be met because the land vehicle is in the form of islands. With the geographical conditions of 117 small islands, 150 bridges and 400 of this canal, the main transportation is by motorboat.

Gondala could become the primary choice to enjoy the romantic city of residence of this Marcopolo. For that, you have to pay 40 to 60 Euro to enjoy the area with a population of 150 thousand inhabitants.
