Great old houses in good condition. Beautiful. Also around many opportunities to experience something. Castle and Main are right next door. Good restaurant in the immediate vicinity.

Miltenberg is a city in Germany, not a really big one, situated near the river Main, filled with old buildings and a certain calm only smaller cities inherit.
My starting point in this city was the market square, with a fountain and some restaurants and stores nearby. The big catholic church cannot be missed and with it being on your right, there is an ice-café to your left which offers nice ice-cream and a good spot in the shade if you want to rest. Right underneath is a small restaurant offering fresh food.
If you walk further to the left you will enter the main area of the city with lots of shops, a bank, some more food options, the self-proclaimed one of the oldest taverns in Germany – ‘Zum Riesen’. You can buy jewellery there, clothes, minerals and much more. The shops are mostly really interesting and offer a lot more than the usual chains. Most of the buildings are rather old and have an interesting look, which can be quirky at times.
If you, from the market square, turn right instead of left, you enter the historic city centre. It’s mainly a lot of old facades and one brewery (Faust beer which is quite well known in the area and my Dad told me it’s tasty, which I cannot deny nor confirm as I don’t like beer) and wine cellars where you can have a tasting as well. The area of Unterfranken, where Miltenberg lies, praises itself with offering good wines and for the lovers of this, this area is perfect.
The last option from the market square is to advance upwards towards the ‘Schnatterloch’ where you can visit the city’s museum or walk up even further, through a gate which leads into a small forest area. Just follow the path up until you reach more gate ruins where you turn to the right and then walk up to the castle. From there you have a wonderful view over the city and almost the entire valley. You can also enter the castle, called ‘Mildenburg’ who also gave the city its name.
Inside you can either just have a look at the old building and walk along the walls, or enter another museum.
You can then descend down the stairs which lead you back to the market square.

This is a beautiful square surrounded by gorgeous half wood houses that have been lovingly looked after. It has a lovely fountain in the middle and the start for the castle walk is from here. Walk along the top of the town for a peaceful, beautiful walk with views down to the river.

The place is nice and a bit typical German, but full of tourists. Nice for pics, but nothing special.

Miltenburg is a very cute little bavarian town, marging the Main River.
The Marktplatz offers a few local stores and cafe/restaurants with local food and brews, besides beautiful bavarian style buildings, churches and monuments.
It's really pleasant to see and enjoy.
The boat ride on the Main is a must!

While cruising the River Main, all the Medieval Towns began to look alike. The Market Square in Miltenberg, however, stood out due to the lovely colorful half-timbered houses and shops along the High Street. Lots of small shops with fairly priced goods made for a fun stroll - even purchased a flat cap to wear on the trip.

Lovely quaint picturesque town to wander through on the cobbled streets and to see the old buildings. No cars to worry about. It takes you back in history and also to your childhood at times when you see some of the half timber buildings the town is well known for. They remind you of fairy tale houses. Lots of shops and a very good Christmas shop that we couldn't resist. Nip down or up some of the narrow lanes, you will find many an interesting house or building.

We visited here for the day on our river cruise. Absolutely beautiful town and market square. A real pleasure to stroll around taking in the fantastic architecture. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Fabulous square surrounded by medieval buildings that are picture perfect. Traditional half-timbered houses line the streets, in all sorts of colours and designs.

This is a great spot to view the half timber buildings and the fountain in the square. Unfortunately one of the building was being refurbished and was draped in plastic. The square leads up to the castle.
