What to see in Regensburg
Sightseeing1Photo: Wikimedia Commons (Steinerne Brücke Regensburg.jpg)
Steinerne Brücke (Stone Bridge)
Nine centuries old and still carrying foot traffic — this 1135 bridge put Regensburg on the medieval trade map.
~0.2 km away
Sightseeing2Photo: Wikimedia Commons (00 2273 Regensburger Dom.jpg)
Regensburg Cathedral
Twin Gothic spires 600 years in the making — construction started 1275, spires finished 1869.
~0.7 km away
Food & Drink3Photo: Wikimedia Commons (Historische Wurstkueche Regensburg.jpg)
Historische Wurstkuchl
On this Danube-bank spot since 1135, serving charcoal sausages since 1806. Order six with sauerkraut; skip the tourist menu.
~0.3 km away
Sightseeing4Photo: Wikimedia Commons (2023-04-29 Porta Praetoria Regensburg 2.jpg)
Porta Praetoria
A Roman gate from 179 AD still standing in a back alley — Regensburg built its medieval city around the old army fort.
~0.8 km away
Culture5Photo: Wikimedia Commons (Altes Rathaus Regensburg.jpg)
Altes Rathaus & Reichssaal
The Imperial Diet met here for 150 years straight. The torture chamber is optional viewing — but surprisingly popular.
~0.5 km away
Culture6Photo: Wikimedia Commons (2018 St. Emmeram 1.jpg)
St. Emmeram's Basilica (Schloss Thurn und Taxis)
Bavaria's wealthiest private palace, built around a 7th-century basilica. The Thurn und Taxis clan still occupy the top floors.
~0.7 km away
Sightseeing7Photo: Wikimedia Commons (Walhalla-Memorial 01.jpg)
Walhalla memorial
A Greek temple full of German heroes on a Danube cliff — Ludwig I's Parthenon, now 132 busts including Mozart and Dürer.
~9.2 km away
Culture8Photo: Wikimedia Commons (Zu Unserer Lieben Frau zur Alten Kapelle von Norden.JPG)
Alte Kapelle (Old Chapel)
Plain whitewashed exterior hides the most lavish Rococo interior in Bavaria. Easy to walk past; very wrong to.
~0.6 km away
Culture9Photo: Wikimedia Commons (Museum der Bayerischen Geschichte Regensburg.jpg)
Museum der Bayerischen Geschichte
Bavaria's newest state museum (2019), covering 200 years of history with interactive exhibits. Allow 2 hours.
~0.7 km away
Culture10Photo: Wikimedia Commons (Schiffahrtsmuseum-Regensburg.jpg)
Regensburg Museum of Danube Shipping
For anyone riding the Danube on a ship, this museum covering 2,000 years of river traffic on these exact waters earns its stop.
~0.8 km away
Culture11Photo: Wikimedia Commons (Schottenportal RB.jpg)
Scots Monastery (Schottenkloster St. Jakob)
12th-century monastery founded by Irish monks who called themselves Scots — the portal carvings have baffled scholars for 900 years.
~1.1 km away
We take no cruise-line commissions — nobody pays us to rank their ship. A few tour links are affiliate links: book through one and we earn a little, but it never buys a kinder word from us.

Sea-Fever
I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky, and all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by.
— John Masefield, 1902
