City in Germany
Regensburg
6 things to see
Regensburg is a UNESCO-listed medieval city on the Danube, and because the old town survived the war intact, the whole tangle of lanes, squares, and the stone bridge (Steinerne Brücke) is free to explore on foot. A plate of sausages at the Historische Wurstküche, Germany’s oldest sausage kitchen, is a cheap riverside meal. The city sits on the Bavarian rail network within easy reach of Nuremberg, Munich, and Passau, so it slots into a wider Germany route without a detour. Spring and early autumn are quieter and cheaper than the summer Danube-cruise peak.
