Rothenburg is still completely contained within its medieval walls dating back to 12th century. The wall is still in excellent condition, you can walk around most of the town on top of the wall. The whole town gives off a completely 'walk back in time' atmosphere. It is a fairly large town as well, had a population of about 6,000 back in it's heyday.
All weekend about 200 people dressed in medieval costume were walking around the town playing their trumpets, drums, flutes and singing. You would turn a corner and there was another group, either soldiers, town wenches, musicians etc. The idea is that they would walk from one old hotel to the other and effectively sing for their supper. Once they had sung some medieval 'ditti' they would be rewarded with beer and wine from the hotel.
