This beautiful town has Cafes, small Restaurants, shops and a huge Church. To enter the Old Town you walk across a bridge over the Danube River.

Cathedral of St Peter's

Regensburg's skyline is dominated by the two towers of this 13th-century cathedral.

Reviewed By VW49 - Ashburn, United States

The tall Gothic, Catholic Cathedral of St Peter dominates the Regensburg skyline. The interior has soaring columns to support the high ceilings accompanied by beautiful stained glass windows, statutes and artworks. There is restoration work on-going so exterior scaffolding and construction barriers were in place during my visit. On an overcast day the light inside is rather low for photography but still there is so much to see in this active cathedral.

Altes Rathaus

Reviewed By Wingfield73 - Chiang Mai, Thailand

Every corner of this historic Roman city seems to present the most casual walkers with another photo opportunity and the Old Town Hall is one of these, a few hundred metres from the remains of the Roman gateway. It is actually three buildings; the tower, the palace and baroque town hall. The museum inside is well worth a visit and, for the gloomy minded the torture chambers in the basement are chilling (indeed quite cold too!)

6. Basilica of the Nativity of Our Lady Regensburg

Basilica of the Nativity of Our Lady Regensburg

Reviewed By lesagirl - Austin, United States

This cathedral is a masterpiece of the Rococo and Baroque style of the 18th century, probably the best in Germany. Upon entering, you are greeted by some of the most colourful frescoes and gold ornate gilt and amazing alter. Take time to just sit in a pew and take a few quiet moments to take in all its splendor. A first chapel was built by order of Charlemagne in the place where, according to tradition, the Roman temple dedicated to Juno was built. The chapel which was built after the fall of the Roman Empire of the West seems to have been the oldest in Bavaria and this earned it the nickname "Alte Kappelle", the «Old Chapel»

Basilica, Cistercian Monastery and Library

Reviewed By DonCesar - Nuremberg, Germany

The church is great itself, the the dozen of jeweled skeletons just make it perfect, so many things to see. Visit the Kappl too is not far and it’s pretty at least from the outside.

Museum Fur Historische MaybachFahrzeuge

Reviewed By TheRealGelatoGirl - Germany, null

...for sure you can't compare this museum with e.g., the huge Mercedes museum in Stuttgart. But if you love luxury cars and Oldtimers this is definitely a must. The cars themselves - in various conditions - are just WOW! If you are in the Nürnberg area, this is worth the drive to Neumarkt!

Golf Museum

The history of golf comes alive in a heritage-listed townhouse in the heart of Regensburg, just a stone´s throw from the Cathedral. You will experience an unforgettable journey through the history of golf from the Middle Ages to the Modern Era. More than 1200 exhibits and rarities have been collected together worldwide, wherever the Anglo-Saxons left their traces, tastefully presented and atmospherically illuminated in medieval vaults of an old patrician house. Beside a variety of multimedia shows including a kids corner the curator of the golf museum and golf historian Peter Insam also offers daily guided museum tours.
