What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors praise the House of History as a cool, small, and beautifully done museum offering an excellent introduction to Dinkelsbühl's past with fair pricing. However, some find the town's charm diminished by the prevalence of cars on its streets, impacting the pedestrian experience.
"This pretty little town could be so much better if they would not let cars spoil every single street. It’s not just the parked cars on the “sidewalks” that leave no space to walk and force you on the main cobblestoned streets, but then there is the constant drone of cars advancing from all sides that makes it very unpleasant. It won’t be a museum and will still be a lively town if the community would clear a few of these streets and just allow pedestrians and cyclists. The irony is that this currently is a medieval town stuck in the 20th century with is bad 20th century habits."
