Overview

Regensburg was founded 2,000 years ago by the Romans. It was one of the wealthiest cities during the Middle Ages and, having mostly escaped the bombs of World War II, much of it has survived. On this walking tour of the enchanting Old Town, you’ll see traces of ancient ruins and medieval splendor. Standing at the crossroads of ancient and modern history, this tour starts outside the House of Bavarian History museum near Castra Regina, a former castle and Roman military stronghold. As you make your way through the old town’s cobblestone alleys, you'll see its patrician tower houses, fountains, and market squares, and share the stories behind them. The tour ends in Domplatz Square in front of one of the best-preserved Gothic cathedrals in Europe, St Peter Cathedral. By the end of this 60-minute tour, you’ll feel like you just emerged from a walk back in time, and have plenty of ideas of what else to do and see in Regensburg.
