Considering the Best Western Atrium Hotel in Regensburg?

Roman Regensburg by Lochlainn
To me the most fascinating part of the town's history - the wealth of Roman remains is staggering. Close observation of many of the buildings, especially round the point where the Steinerner Brucke joins the southern bank of the river, reveals Roman brickwork incorporated into later housing development, and even later constructions still reveal their true origins when one descends into the cellars. Some buildings, such as the Portia Praetoria, remain almost intact. A Roman mosaic, typical of the expensive and elaborate villa style, has recently been excavated from under the cathedral of St Peter itself. In Regensburg one senses that this history is well respected, and not just for the tourists' benefit. For those who wish to learn more the main museum on Dachauplatz has some fascinating Roman exhibits - for those who just want to sense the ambience the locals have obliged with some interesting artwork (ok - it may be David and Goliath but don't they look cute dressed as Romans?).
