Haidplatz is one of the most beautiful squares in Regensburg, and walking around it really captures the city’s positive and welcoming atmosphere. I loved just strolling here, surrounded by the historic buildings and lively cafés—it feels like the heart of a perfect European old town.
Interesting fact: Haidplatz is one of Regensburg’s oldest squares, dating back to the Middle Ages, and it used to be a popular venue for tournaments and knightly games in the 14th and 15th centuries. Today, instead of jousts, it’s full of culture, cafés, and events, but it still keeps that historic charm.
