Why We Picked These Tours
Regensburg’s old town and the Stadtamhof district form a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the city escaped heavy wartime bombing, so its medieval fabric survives. The 12th-century Stone Bridge, the Gothic cathedral with twin spires and the patrician towers show what a Danube trading city looked like.
The Romans built a fort here, and the name of the original camp, Castra Regina, still echoes in the city’s name.
Seasons and Crowds in Regensburg
April to October suits both walking and the river, and Walhalla boat trips are seasonal. Summer highs are often in the mid 20s Celsius. December brings several Christmas markets, including one at the Thurn und Taxis palace, and Danube mornings can be foggy.
