In the Unesco World Heritage Site Regensburg, like in no other central European city, authentic buildings of outstanding quality bear witness to the town’s political, religious and economic significance during the High Middle Ages.
The tremendous wealth of the internationally active patrician families of medieval Regensburg was manifested in splendid towers and residences. Built between the 11th and 14th centuries, these well-preserved towers earned Regensburg the byname "Italy’s northernmost city".
The old town centre features a large number of remarkable buildings and structures including the Stone Bridge, an exceptional engineering achievement dating from the 12th century; the notable "Scottish church" of St Jacob, with its richly carved Romanesque portal and the cathedral, the only example of French Gothic cathedral architecture east of the Rhine. The medieval stained glass windows are considered unique in Germany.

Description:
The best preserved medieval city in Germany, situated at the northernmost point of the Danube River has a special charm. Two millennia of history have remained alive here. The most Italian city north of the alps also offers world renown sights such as Porta Praetoria, the gate to the Roman Castra Regina, the Old Stone Bridge and St. Peters Cathedral. Visit the Old Town Hall with Reichssaal which for 200 years served as the seat of parliament for the Perpetual Imperial Diet and with the original Tourture Chamber of the middle ages or the Palace of the princes of Thurn und Taxis - the family dynasty that founded Europe´s first postal service and now part of the Bavarian National Museum. To fall in love with this town, just stroll through the narrow streets and alleys of the old town and you can see what the city once was and still is today.

Listen to the delightful voices of the boy´s choir of Regensburger Domspatzen, taste the delicious sausages at the Historic Sausage Kitchen or take a boat trip on the Danube River.
