Regensburg got lucky with history: the city came through World War II almost untouched, so here stands one of Germany's best-preserved medieval cities — a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2006. It all began with the Romans, whose legionary fort Castra Regina you can still put your hands on at the Porta Praetoria. In the Middle Ages, Regensburg grew rich on long-distance trade, and its patrician families built towers in the Italian style — which is why the old town feels almost Mediterranean in places. In between sits the Steinerne Brücke, a 12th-century marvel, the Gothic Dom St. Peter and a web of lanes full of cafés and taverns. Everything lies close together — perfect for a city walk where you experience more than you tick off.

Getting there and the best time to visit: Regensburg sits on the Munich–Nuremberg rail line and is easy to reach — from Nuremberg in about an hour, from Munich in around an hour and a half. From the Hauptbahnhof you walk into the old town in about ten minutes, and you won't need a car here. The finest time for a guided walk is from May to September, when the beer gardens and the Danube bank show their best light. In Advent the Christmas markets in the old town and the romantic market at Schloss Thurn und Taxis beckon — and the city is busier accordingly.
What makes Regensburg special: the Steinerne Brücke, built in the 12th century and for centuries the only fixed Danube crossing for miles around — crusaders, merchants and emperors all passed over it. The patrician family towers that give the old town an almost Italian skyline; the Goldener Turm on Wahlenstraße is the best known. And the Roman traces: at the Porta Praetoria you stand before original masonry of the legionary fortress Castra Regina from the 2nd century. That the Immerwährender Reichstag met in the Altes Rathaus for over a century and a half also makes Regensburg one of the most important political sites in German history.
