Surrounded by turreted castles against a backdrop of wooded hills and ancient forests, Wertheim Village is located in the picturesque wine-growing region of the Tauber Valley, which Goethe believed to be the most beautiful in all of Germany. Calmer in temperament than neighbouring Frankfurt, the Village is a tranquil open-air oasis, taking inspiration from its setting on the Romantic Road to reflect its fairy-tale heritage.

With more than 110 boutiques lining pedestrianised, landscaped streets, Wertheim Village offers savings of up to 60% on the former recommended retail price of a unique edit of German and international fashion and lifestyle brands.

The Village also boasts restaurants and cafés offering menus to suit all tastes, including take-away culinary treats.
