Visit Regensburg - Top Ten Sights in Regensburg, Germany
Visit Regensburg, Bavaria, Germany
Regensburg Tourism and Travel
One of the best towns to visit in Bavaria and well worth stopping by if for nothing else but the 500 plus year old bratwurst stand on the riverfront! They have quite possibly the best bavarian sweet mustard in the world (it is their own secret recipe). I think the guy who came up with it died in 1453... and that could be true.

Regensburg, a Bavarian city on the Danube River in southeast Germany, is known for its well-preserved medieval core. The 12th-century Stone Bridge, a 310m-long icon with 16 arches, crosses the river to the old town. The 13th-century Regensburg Cathedral, a twin-spired Gothic landmark, is home to the Regensburger Domspatzen choir. Walhalla, a Parthenon replica just east of the city, honors illustrious Germans.
The capital of the Oberpfalz region of Bavaria, Regensburg dates back to Roman times and was the first capital of Bavaria. Two thousand years of history bequeathed the city some of the region’s finest architectural heritage, a fact recognised by Unesco in 2006. Though big on the historical wow factor, today’s Regensburg is a laid-back, studenty and unpretentious sort of place and it's tangle of old streets a joy to wander.
Regensburg is one of Germany's oldest towns, founded by the Romans in 179 AD. It's in the German federal state of Bavaria, at the northernmost point of the river Danube. As capital of the district of Upper Palatinate and also its biggest settlement, Regensburg today is a thriving city of about 137,000 inhabitants. It has two universities and many landmarks and little chapels, most dating back to the Middle Ages (e.g. the Cathedral of St. Peter, the Old City Hall and Imperial Diet, and the Stone Bridge). According to legend there are so many chapels here, that there would always be at least one church bell ringing. Since 2006 the historic city center of Regensburg and Stadtamhof has been a UNESCO World Heritage site. Because of its narrow alleys Regensburg is often called the northernmost city of Italy.
Regensburg grew to strength and prosperity during the Middle Ages. In the 9th century Regensburg was one of the most important cities in the Kingdom of the East Franks. Through the long-distance trade to Paris, Kiev and Venice Regensburg experienced an economic boom in the 12th and 13th century and was one of the most populous and prosperous cities. A sign of the prosperity of the time is the construction of the Stone Bridge (c. 1135-1146). In 1245, Emperor Frederick II raised Regensburg to the Free Imperial City, and remained so until 1803.
Regensburg economically regained some strength because of its role as a river port for crude oil imports from Eastern Europe. Although Regensburg was target to 20 allied bombings during World War II, because it was home to one of Messerschmitt's main aircraft factories as well as an oil refinery, the historic city center took only little damage. There were two sub-camps of the Flossenbürg concentration camp located in the vicinity of the town for a brief period of time in early 1945. In 1960 the university was founded and several large companies like Siemens, BMW, Infineon, and Toshiba built factories in the city. In 2006 Regensburg's historic city center was appointed a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Regensburg was also home to the German Pope - Joseph Ratzinger. He spent a long time in Regensburg and from 1969 on he taught theology at Regensburg University.

Regensburg is a city in south-east Germany, situated at the confluence of the Danube, Naab and Regen rivers. Regensburg is the fourth-largest city in the State of Bavaria after Munich, Nuremberg and Augsburg. The city of Regensburg is the political, economic and cultural centre of Eastern Bavaria and the capital of the Bavarian administrative region Upper Palatinate.
The medieval centre of the city of Regensburg is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a testimony of the city's status as cultural centre of southern Germany in the Middle Ages.

Generally known in English as Ratisbon until well into the twentieth century, the city is known as Ratisbonne in French and as Ratisbona in Italian, Portuguese and Albanian.
Regensburg is situated on the northernmost part of the Danube river at the geological crossroads of four distinct landscapes:
To the north and northeast lies the Bavarian Forest (Bayerischer Wald) with granite and gneiss mountains, wide forests and its national park. To the east and south-east is the fertile Danube plain (Gäuboden) which are highly cultivated loess plains. The south is dominated by the tertiary hill country (Tertiär-Hügelland), a continuation of Alpine foothills. To the West is Franconian Jura (Fränkische Jura).

It went all too fast? You want the details? No problem.
Here are our recommendations in order of appearance:
00:08 Schwaigsee, Upper Bavaria
Just one example of the beautiful views over lakes and mountains of the Upper Bavaria and Allgäu regions.
00:10 Bratwursthäusle, Nuremberg
Nuremberg is famous for its small grilled sausages. They are usually served with mustard and sauerkraut. And delicious.
00:12 Klosterschenke Weltenburg, Kelheim
Of course: No trip through Bavaria without a stop at a beer garden. The one at the monastery in Weltenburg is especially pretty. Prost to the monks!
00:13 Altenauer Dorfwirt, Altenau
Bavarians love and live their traditions. If you are really lucky like us you end up sitting in the middle of leather trousers and accordions for a Bavarian concert.
00:15 Alte Utting, Munich
“Let’s take that old ship of the Ammersee and put it on a railway bridge!” These young Germans had balls – and are now owning the most unique bar complex in Bavarian’s capital.
00:19 Weißwurstäquator, Zwiesel
The “equator of the Weißwurst” (a typical Bavarian sausage) is a playful description for a (pseudo-)cultural border that separates parts of Bavaria from the rest of Germany.
00:23 Würzburger Residenz
The UNESCO world heritage site is said to be one of the world’s most impressive baroque castles and well, it is simply beautiful!
00:26 Schloss Neuschwanstein, Schwangau
This is it. THE fairy tale castle of all fairy tale castles. The blueprint of the Walt Disney Castle.
00:31 Fuggerei, Augsburg
The Fuggerei is the world’s oldest social housing complex. Woodbine makes it an especially pretty site in autumn.
00:32 Marienplatz, Munich
The main square of Munich, right in front of the very impressive city hall. Its glockenspiel is very famous. We find it totally overrated.
00:34 Malerwinkel, Königssee
Among all the German lakes-by-the-mountains, this is the most stunning one! You'll get the best view over Königssee from a lookout called painter's corner.
00:36 Pottenstein, Franconian Switzerland
We love the area around Pottenstein for its wicked towering rock formations. THE Instagram shot would be the half-timbered museum on top of a rock at Tüchersfeld.
00:38 Walhalla, Donaustauf
The impressive hall of fame honors distinguished people in German history with busts and memorial tablets. Later additions include Martin Luther and Sophie Scholl.
00:41 Zugspitze, Wetterstein Mountains
Germany’s highest mountain – and best views. Undoubtedly.
00:43 Markgräfliches Opernhaus, Bayreuth
This must be the most beautiful opera house we have ever visited! The baroque court theatre is also a UNESCO world heritage site.
00:45 Augsburger Puppenkiste, Augsburg
This quirky little museum is dedicated to the German version of The Muppet Show. Its modern fairy tales are famous nationwide.
00:47 Romantische Straße
The “romantic street” connects some of the most famous tourist destinations: Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Würzburg, Augsburg and Neuschwanstein Castle.
00:48 Gaststätte Röhrl, Eilsbrunn
They serve a delicious Pretzel-Schnitzel. They had lots of time to practice. The Guiness Book of Records confirmed it: this is the world’s oldest tavern!
00:50 Vineyards, Iphofen
We loved small and cosy Iphofen with its various vineyards. Who knew Bavarians were as passionate about wine as they are about beer? We recommend
00:52 Danube River Cruise, Passau
The scenic “City of Three Rivers” is best enjoyed from the deck of a ship.
00:54 Danube Gorge, Weltenburg
The impressive rock formations in the Kelheim area are a great backdrop for canoeing trips. We went with:
00:56 Olympiastadion, Munich
Climbing the roof and ziplining across an iconic stadium is so much better than just going around it, trust us!
01:00 Rachelsee, Bavarian Forest
The massive Bavarian Forest with its lush vegetation and peaceful lakes is a paradise for nature lovers.
01:01 Eibsee, Grainau
Remember the thumb rule of 00:08? This is the perfect example for it!
01:03 Altes Rathaus, Bamberg
The old town hall of Bamberg looks like someone glued a half-timbered house to another. It’s the highlight of its historic centre.
