Regensburg Cathedral (Cathedral of St. Peter)

Highlight • Religious Site

The cathedral is an impressive building in the old town of Regensburg. The famous "Domspatzen", a boys' choir, is also known from here. It belongs to the UNESCO World Heritage and is an important Gothic work in Bavaria. The stained glass windows from the 13th century are very impressive.

Regensburg Old Town

Highlight • Historical Site

Regensburg has one of the most beautiful old towns in Bavaria, if not Germany. Magnificent historical buildings, great alternative shops (not just the mega chains) and great restaurants, some directly on the Danube!

One of the locations from which you can clearly see that each arch of the bridge is built slightly differently.

Arnulf's Square

Highlight • Historical Site

The Arnulfsplatz is located in the west of Regensburg's old town north of the Theater Regensburg. The square was first built in 1803 from a large previous square, after the architect Emanuel Herigoyen had completed the construction of a theater and society house on behalf of Prince-Primate Dalberg. Through the theater building, called the "New House", the previously existing, together with today's Bismarckplatz formed large total space was divided, and it created two seats. Today, six traffic routes open into Arnulfsplatz, to the north of the theater, along with a pedestrian passage to the theater venue Velodrom and the driveway to an underground car park. Despite the cramped road conditions, the Arnulfsplatz developed into a meeting place for several lines of bus transport, must also handle through traffic and therefore has despite the impressive peripheral buildings with town houses of the 17th to 19th centuries for pedestrians only a low quality of stay.

Stone Bridge (Steinerne Brücke), Regensburg

Highlight • Bridge

Next to the cathedral is the Stone Bridge the most famous landmark of Regensburg. The construction of the bridge was started in 1135 and thus the Stone Bridge is today the oldest completely preserved bridge in Germany. Meanwhile, it is reserved for pedestrians and especially on summer evenings here is a nice atmosphere.

December 28, 2023,City-Tour Regensburg: mit der Elektro-Emma und zu Fuß

Today we came to Regensburg on a short city trip.
We started from a parking lot near the cathedral with a short trial tour around the cathedral.
Then, since it was threatening to get wet, we decided to go on a 40-minute city tour with the electric Emma from City-Tours. This gave us a lot of interesting information about Regensburg …

May 13, 2024,Schöner 1. Tag in Regensburg

The trip started at 2 a.m., and it's supposed to be a nice few days in Regensburg.

Since we don't know the city yet, we have to go there.

It probably won't be a particularly strenuous hike, more of a pleasure.
