Regensburg is located in the state of Bavaria at the point where the river Regen flows into the larger Danube. The city’s history is rich and stretches back to the Romans, who built a fort on the river at this very spot, which marks the northernmost course of the Danube. Regensburg developed rapidly and became an important place on the trade routes of Europe when the Steinerne Brücke opened in the 12th century over the Danube.
The old medieval town of Regensburg is still quite well preserved, and it, together with the district of Stadtamhof, is on UNESCO’s list of world cultural heritage. The medieval town is the largest that has been preserved from its time north of the Alps, and it is a fantastic place to explore with small squares and narrow streets, all surrounded by old houses, churches, etc.
The cathedral in Regensburg stands in beautiful Gothic style as one of the city’s well-known sights, and not far from here you can see the preserved stone gate Porta Praetoria, which was built in the year 179 in the old Roman walls. Other sights include the Schottenkirche church, Rathausplatz with Regensburg’s Old Town Hall and the large castle, Schloss St. Emmeram, Thurn und Taxis. As part of the castle complex, you can see the beautiful church, Basilika St. Emmeram.
In Regensburg, you can still cross the Danube over the Steinerne Brücke, which is the oldest preserved stone bridge in Germany, and at the southern end of the bridge you can eat at the Historische Wurstküche, considered perhaps the world’s oldest restaurant, as it opened in the 12th century. From here, the Steinerne Brücke leads north to the Stadtamhof in the middle of the Danube, where the atmosphere is different from Regensburg’s medieval city. Stadtamhof is a beautiful place where you can see the rococo church of St. Mang.
Nuremberg is a Bavarian city one of Germany’s great cities with a long and interesting history. At the same time, it is also a modern city with an extensive network of pedestrian streets, excellent museums and lovely cafes and restaurants, where you can of course taste the famous Nürnberger Bratwürste sausages.
The river Pegnitz runs through the old town and adds a lovely scenery to the cityscape and the many cozy streets in this district. Above the old city, the impressive imperial castle stands as a symbol of the emperor’s and the city’s high status in the Holy Roman Empire, and the history leaves its distinct mark to this day.
Munich is the beautiful and cozy capital of the southern German state of Bavaria and at the same time the northern gateway to the Alps. The city is home to world-renowned brands such as the BMW cars and the Bayern Munich football club, and it is the home of the annual Oktoberfest which is held to the delight of millions of visitors.
Dukes, kings and emperors have resided in the city over time, and they have all left their mark of the city with a lot of buildings from different architectural eras. You can enjoy castles, churches, gardens, monuments and much more. You just have to walk around the old town and in the central neighborhoods to explore it all.
