Holiday in Regensburg

What makes Regensburg special as a destination?

Regensburg on the Danube has the best-preserved medieval city in Germany and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2006. The city, over 2,000 years old, boasts nearly 1,500 listed buildings, including the Stone Bridge from the 12th century — a masterpiece of medieval architecture and a model for the Charles Bridge in Prague. The Gothic Cathedral of St. Peter, with its 105-meter-high towers, is home to the famous Domspatzen, one of the oldest boys' choirs in the world. The medieval towers of the noble families remind us of the city's heyday as a free imperial city and significant trading center on the Danube. The Old Town Hall was the seat of the Permanent Diet from 1663 to 1806. Regensburg surprises with one of the liveliest old towns in Bavaria: Over 500 pubs, bars, and restaurants line the narrow streets. The Historical Sausage Kitchen by the Stone Bridge has been serving bratwurst since 1146 and is considered the oldest snack bar in the world. The student atmosphere from the university, a creative cultural scene, and traditional Bavarian inns create a unique blend. The Danube can be explored by boat, while the surrounding area attracts visitors with the Walhalla — the neoclassical hall of fame above the Danube — and the Weltenburg Monastery with the oldest monastery brewery in the world. Regensburg is an underrated gem for culture, history, and Bavarian lifestyle.
