Its moderate size makes it easy to get to and get around in. You can drive your car into the old town to unload your suitacases, but you may have to park outside the gates if your hotel doesn't have a parking lot. Shopping in Dinkelsbuhl:  Dinkelsbuhl has lots of shops and artist's studios to occupy the shopper. Shops to look for: Greifen (arts and crafts), Töpferei am Tor (handmade pottery), Kunststuben Appelberg (art), and Holzschnitzerei Buckl (wood carving and nativity figures).

For more on tours see Dinkelsbuehl's Official Page . Dinkelsbuhl Attractions - Things to See and Do in Dinkelsbuhl:  A walk around Dinkelsbuhl in early evening is a pleasure. Dinkelsbuhl is far less touristy than Rothenburg, despite the numerous restaurants and hotels, and just about any street will take you past evocative half-timbered houses and shops. A walk outside the intact walls is also interesting--take the marked trail "Alte Promenade." Dinkelsbuhl's old town is one of the best along the romantic road. Saintgeogskirche (St. George's Church) , a late-gothic church on the Marktplatz. See the "pretzel window" donated by the Baker's Guild. Climb the Romanesque tower (which remains from an earlier church) for the views of Dinkelsbuhl. Spitalanlage (old hospital complex) now includes the historical museum, concert hall, and gallery of art. Stadtmühle , a large, military fortified mill that now houses the Museum of the 3rd Dimension, hands-on displays featuring fascinating three-dimensional effects. Dinkelsbuhl also sponsors Sunday concerts in the Town Park from May-September, often with overseas youth bands. Live jazz can be heard at the Jazzkeller. The former grain market, built in 1508 and originally used as a barn to store grains, is now the youth hostel. (See Dinkelsbuhl Lodging for info.)
