Question Rothenburg vs. Bamberg for a Sunday Visit

[SunnySideScapes]

I'm planning a day trip and need to choose between Rothenburg and Bamberg for Sunday. I know that shops will be closed, so I'm looking for insights on which town would be more enjoyable to explore without shopping. What are the must-see sights or experiences in each place that would make the day worthwhile? Any recommendations or tips would be great!

Both towns have their unique charm! Rothenburg is famous for its medieval architecture and picturesque streets, making it perfect for leisurely strolls. Don’t miss the Town Hall and the Night Watchman tour for a rich history. On the other hand, Bamberg boasts its UNESCO World Heritage status with beautiful half-timbered houses and the stunning Bamberg Cathedral. The Old Town Hall on the river is a must-see too. If you prefer a quieter atmosphere, Bamberg might be the way to go. Do you have a preference for medieval vibes or more baroque architecture?
