In a nutshell
Full of Medieval architecture
Christine_D Says: The Nepal Himalaja Pavilion has been part of the World's Fair "Expo" in Hannover (Germany) in 2000. A private citizen bought it and rebuilt it in Wiesent, which is a small village about 20 minutes away from Regensburg. It is open to the public between May and September...
DariyA Says: A very informative and curious museum located in the actual premises of the old Regensburg snuff tabacco factory. And yes, they let you try all those different kinds of tobacco. Not sure though that there's anything left to try after we, a group of 20 non-smokers all of whom...
bonio Says: I think that translates as stone bridge? anyway one of the earliest crossings of the Danube, mostly for pedestrians now but watch out for taxis and buses that are allowed to cross.Excellent views of the city while walking over, and take a look how fast the river is flowing...
dentremo Says: This Gothic cathedral begun in the 14th century dominates the skyline of Regensburg like a medieval skyscraper. The interior is less impressive than its exterior, but well worth checking out (don’t miss the crypt underneath). You can take a tour in German if you'd like (see...
dentremo Says: 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...
iaint Says: This is a serious suggestion!It is that kind of place. Relaxed, historic, cool (and I don't mean the March winds off the river).The old narrow streets (many pedestrianised) lend themselves to it. So do the coffee shops. Pop into the visitor centre at the Altes Rathaus for...
iaint Says: This impressive church takes centre stage in the old town.It was built between 1250 and 1525. I don't think that means they worked slowly. I suspect it means bits were added at various stages of its history. The towers are 19th century. Since I'm 100% non religious (even...
iaint Says: This was built in 1830-41in a neo-classical style, modelled on the Parthenon in Athens.It occupies a site high above the north bank of the Donau, and you get wonderful views up and down river. We arrived too late to get inside, but I'm told it contains 121 marble busts of...
iaint Says: We took a guided tour around this place. Well worth it. Of course I didn’t pay.No seriously, the guide was good and I learned a lot of stuff about the Holy Roman Empire.That makes it a really medieval place. It has dungeons and a torture chamber to prove it. Check out the...
iaint Says: So, an old stone bridge across the Danube. Sorry, Donau.It was built between 1135-46, so it is quite old. And it still works. Or at least it did the day we were there! And apparently it was still carrying traffic fairly recently.Fortunately it is now on UNESCO’s list (as...

Alte Münz: Nice ambience, good food
gmg61 Says: They serve traditional Bavarian food in an old house, with a very warm, relaxing and comfortable ambiance. Try the pork leg (Schweinshaxle) or the onions soup (Winzer Zwiebelsuppe). They also serve fresh fish, well cooked. I tried a trout fillet with almonds and it was...
Kneitinger Keller: Beer garden
bonio Says: A couple of hours wait between trains so, a good time for a visit to a beer garden for lunch.The Kneitinger Keller is just a few minutes walk from the station. We found the usual outdoor seating under mature Horse Chestnut trees, perfect.Busy on a Tuesday lunchtime but still...
bonio Says: Always attracted by somewhere that brews their own beers, a Sunday lunchtime visit and lucky to find a table, it was extremely busy, we shared with another beer and food lover and a good chance for Mrs Bonio to practice her German.Difficult to fault, food and beers excellent...
alectrevor Says: The Bayern-Bohmen ticket can be used on regio trains and buses in this part of Bavaria Germany and over the border in Czech republic. It can be used after 9am till 3am next day Monday to Friday and all day Saturday and Sunday. Not to used on ICE trains. It costs 26 euro for...
Christine_D Says: Regensburg is a very small city. Everything in the city centre is within walking distance. If you don't want to walk around the whole day you can also rent a bike. But be careful! You are not allowed to go everywhere in the city centre by bike. There are road sign which show...
tessy Says: I saw a lot of bikes and parkings for bikes. What I missed was the special lanes for bikes . But there are not in all places so much bike lanes as I am used to from Mannheim. In the parts of Regensburg which are in the valley it is probably no problem going by bike, But...
Old Bridge and Sausage Kitchen
bianchis Says: We arrived by ship and of course the first thing which comes in sight is the Old Stone Bridge, constructed in the 12th century.Dominating the area near the bridge is the Historiche Wurstküche and the excursion-boat landing. The Historic Sausage Kitchen has been serving...
dentremo Says: On the northern side of the Danube there is a hill that extends along the river to the west. There are a series of trails that you can bike, run, or stroll along providing spectacular views of Regensburg and the Danube river valley. (In the picture, the church on the hill is...
leics Says: My guidebook made no mention of St Jacob's......pure chance that I came across it.It's very old.......a monastery and church founded by Irish monks in the 1100s.and it has the most wonderful northern doorway, with complex and detailed sculptures and carvings whose meanings...
tessy Says: Since july 2006 Regensburg is part of the Unesco World heritage. In the historical part of the old town there are 984 monuments, all over Regensburg there are more than 1500 monuments, which is really a lot. When we walked through the narrow streets on our first evening, we...

Who says you can't go back? Regensburg
How Regensburg has escaped becoming a tourist trap is a mystery. With medieval cobbled streets, soaring Gothic church spires, and a healthy jumble of Renaissance and Baroque architecture, it has all...
