Regensburg

In the Old Town of Regensburg, every stone holds a wealth of legends. Participants of the Second and Third Crusades crossed the Danube via the Roman stone bridge. At Historische Wurstkuchl, located near the bridge, sausages have been sold since the bridge's construction. The tall Patrician Towers are a reminder of the aristocrats' vanity.

Architectural masterpieces from the 11th to 13th centuries create a unique urban ensemble that is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Inside the Gothic St. Peter's Cathedral, you can see a massive hanging organ and stunning stained glass windows. The interior of the Old Chapel is designed in the Rococo style. The 12th-century Goliathhaus is adorned with a Renaissance-era fresco. You can take a break during your stroll at a café on Heidplatz by the Baroque-style Fountain of Justice.

Regensburg successfully bridges the past and present. On Stadtamhof Island, medieval village houses have been transformed into artist studios. A city market takes place weekly on Neupfarrplatz. The Walhalla Memorial is easily accessible by riverboat. Amazon, Toshiba, and Siemens have chosen the city for their headquarters. The multimedia exhibitions of the Bavarian Museum can be found in a modern building on the riverside.
