Regensburg
Regensburg is very nice Bavarian city. I just visited here for few hours and had a very nice time strolling around, see the old city and the Danube river.

I will be traveling to Regensburg 12/24 – 12/26. Will there be places to eat. My brother lives in Augsburg, he explained around holidays things tend to shut down. With that said do I need to take groceries? I have been two other times to Regensburg but only in the spring. Thanks for you help. Daniel Little
It is pretty common for restaurants to open and offer special "Christmas lunches" on the 25th and 26th. However you need to find out in advance which restaurants these are and often call them to reserve. A good bet are the big hotel chains which typically offer "all-you-can-eat" Brunch buffet.
The other places that are bound to be open are gas stations and small shops in train stations.
So yeah, best have an emergency supply of a few sandwiches, cookies, some fruit and a bottle of water. Nothing much, just so that you will survive one or two days if you cannot find anything to buy.
On December 24th many restaurants close in the afternoonm but not all of them. Almost all hotel-restaurants are open. If you contact me in the beginning of December I can give you some information! Where are you staying? Hotel or with friends? All stores close December 24th in the evening and open again on December 27th. If you want to buy anything, buy it on the 24th!
Oh ... I just saw that it was in 2007! Nevertheless if anyone needs information just let me know!

Along the Danube, there is a bike path (Donauradweg) heading in both directions out of town. The direction of the path is a little complex as it passes the heart of the city (It actually switches from the southern to northern side), but is easy to follow outside of town. It is great for biking or running. If you are ambitious, you can ride 15k to the east to the Wallhalla monument and Donaustauf castle ruins.
This historic old restaurant is purported to be the oldest in Germany, clocking in at over 800 years old. It’s obviously become quite a tourist attraction and on the blue dye rinse set tour, be it by bus or boat. It manages to not be engulfed by this madness and exudes some old world charm. With such early opening hours, it’s easy enough to avoid the masses by having a breakfast of their famous Regensburger sausages before the boats dock or buses ramble into town. The inside is a bit cramped but there is a nice outside seating area where you can soak in the ambience of the flowing Danube. Regensburger sausages are one of Germany’s most coveted. Most Germans are strong proponents of their particular brand of sausage but Regensburg’s variety draws raves from most. They go well with the Thurn & Taxis Pils, a rocky-headed straw colored brew that straddles the hop/bitter fence well into it’s clean dry finish. You can buy the sausges in groups of two depending on how hungry you are and they are served with a basket of locally baked rustic rolls that you pay for per roll. It's reasonable but not as inexpensive as other less touristed places.
King Ludwig II's replica of Athen's Parthenon. This picture of Wallhalla partialy swallowed up by the wooded hill was taken from the nearby ruins of Donaustauf. Inside there are busts of famous Germans such as Albert Einstein and Sophie Scholl. Even if you don't want to pay the couple Euro entrance fee, it is a great place to pinic or just walk around in the nature around it.
This stone bridge crosses the Danube and joins the Altstadt to the area known as Stadthamhof (once more or less a separate town, now also part of the Unesco World Heritage site).
The bridge dates from the 1300s, although the little statue in the centre (the 'Bruckmandel') was placed there in the 1700s.
Once, there were watchtowers in several places on the bridge but the only one now remaining is that on the Altstadt bank (the Bruckterm).
The views from the bridge are lovely, especially when the river is high........I imagine it is a pretty spectacular place when the river is in full flood.
There's no traffic, so it makes a very pleasant walk (even in the rain!).
