cygnus,

my parents are Interested in history and would love to visit small towns.

I simply mentioned rather ridiculous comment from a young person who lives in Frankfurt and insists that Frankfurt is a must, but Bamberg isn't worth it. Some people (like in my example) give "false" directions.

Back to Rothenburg... they take a car in Nuremberg (for instance) to overnight in Rothenberg and then? drive to where with 2 days left before the flight from FRA?
Is 1 day enough to see Nuremberg?
