Guided Sightseeing Tours

Regensburg

Regensburg... ...Germany’s medieval Miracle.

This ancient medieval city of Regensburg lies on the banks of the River Danube. As a UNESCO World Heritage site it has a remarkable number of historical buildings of outstanding quality, with architecture spanning almost 2,000 years.

As you stroll through the dark, narrow cobble stoned streets you enter the Middle Ages, surrounded by the splendid Tours and residences erected by noble tradesmen during the 11th, 12th and 13th centuries. Take a step further and you slip back to 179 AD as you gaze at the Roman gateway of Fort Regina which still survives today.

Just around the corner you will find the magnificent gothic cathedral of St. Peters founded in 1275. Wander on and discover the Old Town Hall which played host to the Reichstag (parliament) of the Holy Roman Empire. It is from here that Charlemagne and his representatives passed laws, directed wars and administered the vast Empire.

Old Stone Bridge Regensburg

The Danube is the ‘main street’ of Regensburg and there is time to take a boat trip through the heart of this historic European city. Across the Danube lies the charming Old Stone Bridge. Constructed in 1135, it opened the trade routes to Italy, making Regensburg one of the wealthiest European cities of its time.

After lunch at one of the quaint old taverns, a street café or a riverside beer garden, we visit the ghosts of St.Emmeram, a 8th century church standing next to the Benedictine Abbey. Today the Abbey is the resplendent palace of the House of Thurm and Taxis, key players in establishing Europe’s first postal system.

Join us and experience Regensburg... a unique mixture of an ancient world harmoniously supported by the renowned university and thriving industrial city.
