If you want to go to Weltenburg to check out the monastery (or the beer ;)), you’ll need to get an early start, especially if you’re coming from Munich. You have to get a bus to Kelheim but they conveniently leave from the main train station in Regensburg. They leave at 8:00, 11:20, and 15:30. They arrive about 40 minutes later. The catch is they only run on weekends and holidays from April till October but check ahead this may change. It cost 5.50 Euros for a day pass. Once in Kelheim, you’ll need to make your way down to the river. It’s a pleasant stroll through a nice town that could be explored if you get an early start. The famous Schneider Brewery is here if you have the time. Boats leave about every 45 minutes depending on the season and take about the same time to get there. The return trip is much quicker as it’s down river. There are quite late boats returning but the problem is you have to be back in Kelheim for the last bus, which is at 17.19. Again, make sure you check as things like this change from season to season. We got the 11:20 bus, caught the 12:30 boat, got to Weltenburg about 1:15. To be safe, we caught the 16:10 boat back for the 17:19 bus. Three hours is just about enough time to explore the monastery and have a nice meal/some beers. A better plan of action is to spend a night in Regensburg and get the early bus to Kelheim. This will give you some time to explore the town, maybe even the brewery as well as more time in Weltenburg. The cruise is full of pensioners but good fun and well worth the 6.60 Euro return trip price tag. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

If one is buying a Eurail or Deutsche Bahn pass, I suggest you buy a first class pass, it is worth the extra money, as the first class cars, especially on the ICE trains are very ,very nice. They have reclining seats with personal video and music, are plush and usually uncrowded. Plus, if you travel on a weekend the trains in second class may be packed and you may have to stand, which is no fun! Even if second class is full, in my experience, first class usually had plenty of room.
One usually doesn't need to reserve a seat, either. You can sit in a reserved seat as long as you vacate it or get off at a stop before the city that the person the seat was reserved for commences travel. The conducters don't have a problem with that.
If you have a pass, make sure you have it validated at a station before you get on the train because you only have so many days within to use them if they are for a certain amount of trips. (That's so the conductor knows that your pass hasn't expired!)
After you get on the train, show the pass to the conductor when they ask for your ticket, they will stamp it on the box of the day that is unused if the date hasn't been stamped already there. If you change trains that same day, just show it to the conductor on the next train so they know you have been validated to travel that day. It's really fairly simple and passes work out to be much cheaper than point-to-point single tickets or even round-trip fares in Germany, and they are much less hassle than messing with tickets!

Driving downtown in Germany is always a problem. An alternative is leave your car at a P+R place and take the bus. After you arrive at the main train station, try to find the Altestadte Linen, taking you around all the historical place at a cost of about one dollar. They also offer group ticket. Theme: Bus

Regensburg was the first city in Germany where we noticed people using "Razor Scooters" as a viable form of transportation. Kids going to and from school, business executives and housewives found this a "very acceptable" way to get about! Walking is the best method for tourists, but cabs are also redily available.
