St. Peter’s Cathedral is absolutely breathtaking. The Gothic architecture is stunning, with soaring spires, intricate stonework, and beautiful stained glass windows that create a peaceful, awe-inspiring atmosphere inside. It’s hard not to be impressed by the history and craftsmanship. Even if you’re not typically into churches, this one is worth the stop. It’s right in the heart of Regensburg, so very easy to visit while exploring the old town. Highly recommend taking a few quiet moments inside—truly a highlight of the city.

Massive pure Gernan gothic church that was built from the end of the 13th to the beginning of the 16th century using the architecture of French cathedrals as an example. The inside is dark and has beautiful details like the silver altar. The stained glass windows from the 13th and 14th century are impressive and the most extensive, still preserved, collection of medieval stained glass in the German-speaking world. An interesting detail was a large waterwell with a hoist and bucket inside the church which was used as a secure source of water for the clergy, cathedral staff and cleaning.

The cathedral is truly impressive! A magnificent structure that’s hundreds of years old. I can’t even say whether I liked it more from the outside or the inside. Every day in summer, the organ plays at noon, it’s absolutely amazing! An architectural masterpiece that definitely deserves attention. The only downside is that the exterior has been under renovation for many years.

Learned so much about German history from our Viking excursion to Regensburg Cathedral. Stepping into this medieval masterpiece, we were instantly awed by its towering Gothic architecture and the sheer scale of the place. The amazing stained glass windows, glowing with centuries-old craftsmanship, were absolutely breathtaking. Our guide wove fascinating tales about the cathedral’s medieval sculptures and its historical significance as a key center of Christianity in Europe, making the past feel alive and vibrant. The world’s largest hanging organ was a true marvel, suspended like something out of a dream, and its presence added to the cathedral’s awe-inspiring atmosphere. Learning about the Regensburg bishopric’s influence gave us a deeper appreciation for the city’s role in shaping European history. This cathedral is a must-see for anyone visiting Regensburg—its beauty and stories will leave you speechless. Highly recommend making time for this incredible landmark!

Great experience. Today was the 75 anniversary of Caritas and St. Josef Hospital celebrated with bishop Rudolf and former cathedral choir member (Regensburger Domspatzen). Usually the holy mass is starting on Sundays at 10 a.m. Be early enough there to get a place!

Our tour guide told us this cathedral is always under some kinds of construction in one form or another 🤣 While we were here the towers were in repair and there’s a choir outside make Ng beautiful music.

Incredible cathedral in the heart of Regensburg. Beautiful architecture and stained glass windows. Free entry.

Regensburg is a charming old city and this bridge is its emblem. It was built over 800 years ago. It offers splendid sights over the Danube. Lots of people go there, as well as on a picnic around it on the banks of the river. There are ducks living around too.

Regensburg is a romantic and a very beautiful city. The bridge area is a very dynamic area with a lot of people, many souvenir shops, terraces of all kinds. The atmosphere in summer is super pleasant.

A beautiful bridge built in the Middle Ages with many arches across the Danube river. On both side of the river are the many tourist attractions and eateries. We came during some kind of festival and so fun to see so many people dressed up in the traditional clothings.

A car free bridge for pedestrians and bicyclists offers a spectacular view of the city. This 12th century bridge faces the Danube. It’s even more stunning at night.

Go on a Sunday. It's less touristy and you can do a short walk for just about an hour around the place, take good photos and leave for other towns nearby.

It's one of the sightseeing sites you shouldn't miss once you're in Regensburg. Lovely, mediaeval bridge crossing the Danube.

We visited Regensburg for the 2024 Christmas market season. The old town is very walkable. We were able to visit all the Christmas markets on foot including the small market just across the bridge. We had the best pork sandwich with horseradish at this tiny market. One of the best things we ate during our 9 day Christmas market trip. Took this beautiful photo from the bridge.

Rathaus is one of the most historically significant buildings in Regensburg. With its origins dating back to the 13th century, it served not only as the seat of the city council, but also as a key political centre of the Holy Roman Empire. From 1663 to 1806, its Reichssaal hosted the Perpetual Imperial Diet (Immerwährender Reichstag) – a unique institution of European diplomacy. Today, the building combines Gothic and Baroque elements and houses a museum that offers guided tours through the historic council chamber, courtroom, prison cells and interrogation room. The Altes Rathaus complex is accessible via guided tours which generally run between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM, with extended hours to 5:00 PM in the peak season (April–October). Tours commonly start at 10:00, 11:30, 13:30, 14:00, 15:00 and 15:30. Guided tours are usually conducted in German—English tours are available by prior arrangement through the local tourist office.

Excellent choice for fun and food. Served was top notch! A perfect choice for beverages and authentic German food.

Old Town Hall Area is very nice and worth visiting. One should have complete day to explore this area. It is full of Restaurants and Cafes. Each building is worth viewing. Number of roads crosses through buildings which gives a beautiful look. Very attractive place for tourists to visit.

Such an amazing guide and guidance we had! I had the luck to be right on time for the English tour (14:00)! Charlotte was very nice and knowledgeable,made the experience a very entertaining one! I highly recommend this Museum!

Beautiful historical old town worth visiting. If you have only one day to visit the city, make sure you spare one hour for a river cruise. We had a fun 45-minute boat trip with some drinks, food, and beautiful views.

the 400 dating rathaus maybe older. a very good english guided tour and the guide is funny, well informed and gave clear informations about the building. you will start from the counsel room of the 7 leaders till the meeting room and then the great ceremony Hall. you will then get downstairs to the dark side of the building with well preserved interogation rooms and tools with prison cells and the canons in the backyard market. interesting tour for the whole family. entrance os 7.5€ and duration around 1 - 1.20.

We visited on friday, while there were wedding parties going on, so we couldn’t tour the whole townhall. We saw only the cellars with the torture chambers, despite that the tour was amazing and the tour guide very kind and friendly. There is an english tour at 14:00, however audio guides are available for every tour at the information centre.

Gorgeous, light, white, gold, airy. Fabulous example of German rococo. Well worth the time to visit. The entrance is from the square, not the street.

Sad that it's closed with fence but you can still make photos and enjoy the gorgeous views

Extremely beautiful! I am really lucky that since I am there early, the priest decided to open the gate let me in for 5 minutes! He even switched on all the light to show me how beautiful this church is!! The most impressive 5 minutes I had in Regensburg!

The Roman Catholic Collegiate Church of Our Lady of the Old Chapel (short: Collegiate Church of the Old Chapel or Old Chapel) on the Old Kornmarkt in Regensburg is the main church of the collegiate monastery of Our Lady of the Old Chapel, the oldest existing collegiate monastery in Bavaria, and the oldest Church of Regensburg. In terms of art history, it is considered one of the most important rococo churches in Bavaria. According to legend, it is also said to be the oldest church and therefore the mother church of Bavaria, from which the Christianization of the country began, and stands on the site of a Roman temple to Juno. The core of today's building dates back to the Ottonian period, when the collegiate monastery was founded in 1002 by Henry II and his wife Kunigunde. The elevated choir, on the other hand, was only built in the middle of the 15th century and is designed in the late Gothic style. After a thorough redesign in the second half of the 18th century, the rococo style dominates the interior.

a basilic from the era of the holy roman empire. now on the baroque style with rococo ceiling. very old and impressive.

One of the most beautiful churches in all Europe maybe

The Basilica of the Nativity of Our Lady is the oldest Catholic place of worship in Bavaria and one of the most important churches in Regensburg. It is located on Alter Kornmarkt to the east of Dom St. Peter's in the historic city centre. The church was originally founded around 1000 when a Romanesque abbey was built at this location. In the 18th-century the interior nave was given a Baroque and Rococo redesign. It is considered a Rococo masterpiece in the manner of the Wessobrunn School. The exterior is rather subtle and unassuming. However, once you enter the main chapel area, you will see an immaculate nave and interior with ornate decoration, endless gilding, artworks, ceiling fresco and elaborate high altar. There is much to feast your eyes upon within Basilica of the Nativity of Our Lady. It is well worth simply taking a seat and enjoying what is around and above you within the church. Note, you can conveniently visit Basilica of the Nativity of Our Lady before or after other interesting churches in the area. These include the Carmelite Church of St. Joseph on the other side of the square and St. Peter's Cathedral just a couple minutes walk west of this location.

A must visit if you are traveling with a ‘golf aficionado’! The museum is a bit hard to find as it’s inside an antique store and down a spiral staircase. The owner is currently writing a book about the start of golf in the Nordic region not in Scotland.

A truly unique experience — it’s like walking through time (or better said, down into a secret golfer’s cave) from Dutch beginnings on ice to the legendary greens of St. Andrews. The Golf Museum Regensburg houses an extensive and fascinating collection of balls, clubs, and artworks, beautifully presented by golf historian Peter Insam. An absolute must-visit for anyone with even a hint of curiosity about the game’s history.

Very informative. Owner ,Peter, very knowledgeable. Not long. Certainly worth the 7.50Euros. Owner also gave a great tip on a pastry/coffee shop

Peter Insam has put together an amazing display containing a lifetime of collecting golf items. I await his forthcoming book on the true origins of golf predating Scotland. I was privileged to meet this gentleman who shared his pride and love in this collection that is a “must-see” who appreciates golf as more than just a sport. Thank you, Ken Meirovitz A fellow golfer aged “5 over par”

Wonderful Museum with the biggest collection of old golf balls, clubs, bags and even books and jewellery with golf symbols. Very kind man, who is really interested in golf give you details about golf history and some unusual facts about that sport. “Kolf” golf equipment used in Netherlands during 17./18. century

The old golf clubs, golf balls, photos, etc. we're so interesting.

Located underneath a jewelry shop is a hidden gem of a museum. A wonderful collection of all things golf. I, myself don't play, and only occasionally watch it on tv. However, this museum was gave me such an appreciation for the sport. You see the hard work of players and spectators alike, in the dozens and hundreds of years in artefacts and antiques. I seriously recommend to anyone with a love for history and collections, as well as golf. Perhaps this visit will spark an intrigue in a long beloved sport.

Haidplatz is one of the most beautiful squares in Regensburg, and walking around it really captures the city’s positive and welcoming atmosphere. I loved just strolling here, surrounded by the historic buildings and lively cafés—it feels like the heart of a perfect European old town. Interesting fact: Haidplatz is one of Regensburg’s oldest squares, dating back to the Middle Ages, and it used to be a popular venue for tournaments and knightly games in the 14th and 15th centuries. Today, instead of jousts, it’s full of culture, cafés, and events, but it still keeps that historic charm.

Beautiful town square in Regensburg. There’s a Christmas market here in December which is a must see.

Definitely check this place out!! The oldest running restaurant in the world!! The wurst and kraut is AMAZING! You can’t beat it! We sat outside next to the river. Afterwards we walked up to the bridge and grabbed ice cream, and then walked all around the village. There are SO many cute shops for shopping and things to be seen. Don’t worry about getting lost, everywhere you go will be picturesque! Also, check out the cathedral! It is quite impressive. And you can go inside! It’s so beautiful and reminds me of a mini Notre dame!

Haid: Comes from the Middle High German word "Heide," meaning an uncultivated field or meadow. Platz: The German word for "square" or "place". Therefore, Haidplatz directly refers to the "Meadow Square" or "Field Square," a name that reflects its historical origins as an open, undeveloped expanse

It's a town square, one of many in Regensburg. It's nothing special, but it has nice colored houses surround it. Many cafes and restaurants.

Haidplatz is a triangular shaped public square in the heart of Regensburg that dates back to the Middle Ages. Here you'll find impressive buildings that are enjoyable to see while sightseeing around the city centre. We visited during December when the square was hosting the Lucrenzia Christmas Market, seeing a handful of stalls setup selling gluhwein, traditional holiday foods and a small assortment of seasonal items and decorations. That added to the nice atmosphere of this particular square in Regensburg

Old city square in the middle of the old Regensburg town. The labyrint of town alleys are intereating to explore. Many small shops, cafès and bakeries.

One of the most interesting historic churches we visited recently in Regensburg is that St. Emmeram, a Basilica minor located at Emmeramsplatz next to the Thurn and Taxis Palace. The church history dates back to 780AD and is considered a National Shrine in Bavaria. There are quite a few interesting things to see at St. Emmeram. The church is a mixture of Romanesque and Baroque architecture. The main portion of the church nave dates back to the 8th-century but was given a High Baroque makeover by the regionally important Bavarian architects Asam Brothers in the early 18th-century. The high altar, pulpit, ceiling fresco and numerous decorations with gilding create a beautiful interior. There is a 11th-century crypt with important tombs in the back that is worth a quick visit. Given the church age, its worth reading up on its history before or during your visit. This will help create context to what you are seeing at St. Emmeram Basilica in Regensburg.

A brooding and beautiful church building in a wealthy monastery. Filled with lavish tombs in the dark Baroque splendour, this monastery church is peaceful, creepy, and wonderful all at once. The preserved corpses of saints in glass coffins make it a little macabre, but for those who are into it, it is well worth visiting.

Very close to the station. It was free to enter and has amazing paintings and statues

The chapel located in the south of city center. It is the nearest sightseeing spot from Regensburg station. The chapel is not so impressive from the outside, but inside it is beautiful. I quite like the ruin-like entrance. It is a must visit when you are in Regensburg.

Beautiful abbey. Free entry. Stumbled across this by accident after admiring the murals on the outside and walking into a nondescript courtyard.

Beautiful example of bavarian gothic complex in the nearby of the historical centre of Regensburg, a quite, not too large and very well kept city in southern Germany.

You will need to walk around and check for open doors to find this place. Also know google tries to take you to the wrong door to access the Abby. It is absolutely beautiful and was also empty when my wife and I toured. Make the effort and open some doors and you might just find this.

Beautiful painting from the past. Giant and impressive

One of the many interesting buildings to see in Historic city centre of Regensburg is the Goliathhaus (Goliath House) which was built along Goliathstraße in 1260. What makes this heritage building particular unique and interesting to see is the large scale mural of a fight between David and Goliath, which you will see while approaching from the north from Brückstraße. The mural was created in 1573 and depicts Goliath as the massive giant in armour, reaching upward several floors. His left arm is shown cleverly resting on one of the building windows while he peers downward towards David. By comparison, David is much smaller, bent over, preparing to sling a stone towards Goliath. We know how the story goes after this scene.

There is a nice painting on the wall about biblical story.

I liked it but it is just a painting. Liked it because it depicts the Biblical story. We thought it should be called David’s house since he was actually the winner of the battle….

Beauiful painting in the city center

It'a nice painting on a house ... nothing more than that.

Very nice mural right as you enter the city

When in Regensburg, you must go see the Porta Praetoria. It is a gate preserved from Roman times. From what I understand, this was the Northernmost gate to the Danube River. It is only partially preserved but it is still such a cool sight to see when you are walking down the street and you see it. For me, it's always as great to see it as it was the very first time that I came across it, purely by chance. There is so much Roman history here. This city is so cool. It is located right behind the Regensburg Cathedral ( The Regensburg Dom). So, you make sure that you are on Domplatz then keep on walking, following the curve of Domplatz, it will curve to the right. Follow it, and the street becomes Krautermarktstraße. When you reach the end, turn right and you will be on Goliathstraße. Stay on it and it becomes Unter den Schwibbögen. You will immediately see the big Porta Praetoria to your right.

If you are expecting to see very much Roman-era building works here in Germany, you're probably going to be disappointed. Yes, they should be properly preserved and documented. But you will only see a very few stones in the outline of a gateway that look exactly like the photos. Cool, but not particularly destination-worthy on their own. I heard a guide tell someone that Pope Benedict used to live there. Not sure where they got that gem from (he didn't). Certainly worth a quick look-see if you're already in town.

There is not much left of what once was a gate like the Porta Negra in Trier. Now the remains are incorporated in the buildings around. The gate was built in 179 CE as the northern gate to the Roman legionary fortess Castra Regina. In a Roman Military camp (castra) this was the main gate leading to the praetorium which was the commanders headquarters or residence. Hence the name.

a partly preserved roman gate north of the Alps and known also as the watergate, due to its location near the Danube river. made of Corinthian limestone. only part of it is visible for visitors.

If you're a history buff, you've got to see this. Got to love those! Romans.

It was restored based on the remains of some of the Roman gate. Therefore, if you know the historical meaning of this, you will take it meaningfully, but you don't know it, you can only see it just as a building. It is located in the old town.

What's left of an old construction with modern remodeling

Great museum that was half price the day we went. Had a lot of Roman history that we found interesting. Good place to spend some time seeing old stuff in a clean, warm and dry environment.

Great experience. Students enter for free. It was quiet and they had many sections where you can interact with the artifacts. Very interesting. Safe environment for all.

Nice museum shared with the church attached to it. It's very good on the prehistoric time of Regensburg and then jumps to Roman and Medieval times. The Roma period in Regensburg is well represented. The Medieval period is rather "laconic" and centred on religious history. A good visit if in Regensburg.

divided in 3 floors: ground floor flr the roman era and prehistoric era with history of germanic-roman people and relation with the city. first floor for the medieval life of the people in regensburg, the second floor is a collection of christian relics and paintings from regensburg artists also from the medieval ages. there's a church also but only to be visited from Easter till October, the museum is on the ground of an old gothic Monastery but you can greatly follow the History of Regensburg.

The museum is in German but eventually they found an English audio guide for me that works. The top floors are dedicated to mediaeval art, which I appreciate them doing.

Interesting museum focusing on the history of Regensburg from its earliest times through Roman period up to Middle ages. Authentic exhibits on display, some interactive elements (mostly media), church building with frescoes, sacral art. Texts only in German but possibility of an audio guide.

The history museum of Regensburg is located in a former church (dates back to early 13th century) presents the history of art and culture in Regensburg and Bavaria since stone age to the 19th century. There are 3 exhibitions, prehistory, Roman and middle ages. There are numerous astonishingly beautiful artifacts in each room. In addition to that, the church area is still well reserved and amazing. This is a must visit in Regensburg. The entrance is 5 euros and free entry on 1st Sunday of the month

The church is well maintained and provides a peaceful atmosphere for visitors. Inside, there are stained-glass windows that let in a soft, colourful light. The church is also known for its impressive organ, which adds a majestic touch to the overall experience, as well as the view from the top of the tower, which for only €2.5 you can capture a unique view of the city. There's a book with reviews inside the church as well, so please be kind to leave one over there as well!

The church was built from 1627 to 1631 according to plans by Hanns Carl and was one of the first new Evangelical Lutheran churches to be built in Bavaria . The church is considered to be the largest new church building in the then free imperial city of Regensburg . Opens after 12pm.

The stairs are a bit narrow but once you make it to the top, you get a great view of Regensburg! Also very reasonable entry fees

Evangelical Lurheran Holy Trinity Church. The tower ascend costs €2 and it's well worth it. The view from the bell tower is great, you see all the patrician towers of Regensburg. Take note of the opening time though, only open 12 noon onwards.

Entry to the tower costs 2.5€ Perfect view point. You can see all old part of the city.

Nice church with lovely graves. More toned down compared to Catholic churches in the area.

Close for visiting but you can have a look.

a bronze monument to a military leader who led successful naval wars against the Turks and the pirates and was appointed governor of Netherlands. born from royal roots on Regensburg.

Very cruel statue which should be removed as something symbolizing inhumanity. Shame on the person who put this statue here.

Not original statue but kind of famous because of what it represents.

(Translated by Google) Don Juan de Austria was born in Regensburg in 1547 and is commemorated by a statue on Zieroldsplatz. He was commander of the Spanish fleet and governor of the Habsburg Netherlands. He was the illegitimate son of Emperor Charles V and the middle-class Regensburg Gürtler's daughter Barbara Blomberg. (Original) Don Juan de Austria wurde 1547 in Regensburg geboren, an ihn erinnert eine Statue am Zieroldsplatz. Er war Befehlshaber der spanischen Flotte und Statthalter der habsburgischen Niederlande. Er war der außereheliche Sohn Kaiser Karls V. und der bürgerlichen Regensburger Gürtlerstochter Barbara Blomberg.

(Translated by Google) Don Juan D'Austria, born in Regensburg, was commander of the Spanish fleet and governor of the Habsburg Netherlands. He was born in Regensburg, the product of an extramarital affair between Emperor Charles V and Barbara Blomberg, a Regensburg native. As a child of Regensburg, his father had him taken abroad at the age of 3. The Holy Roman Emperor Charles V (who, incidentally, was born in the Netherlands and was also King of Spain) recognized him as his son after his death. Whether the statue belongs there or not is not something I want to decide here. It doesn't bother me, and it's beautifully crafted. It is NOT a political or ethnic monument. Like all generals, he fought for his king. If anyone feels offended by something that happened almost 500 years ago, I don't quite understand. Perhaps it would be a good idea to catch up on some history lessons here. It's a good thing that freedom of speech exists in Germany. And this is mine. (Original) Der in Regensburg gebohrene Don Juan D'Austria war Befehlshaber der spanischen Flotte und Statthalter der habsburgischen Niederlande. Er entstammt einer außerehelichen Liaison von Kaiser Karl V. und der bürgerlichen Regensburgerin Barbara Blomberg und wurde in Regensburg geboren. Als Kind von Regensburg ließ ihn sein Vater mit 3 Jahren ins Ausland bringen. Der römisch-deutsche Kaiser Karl V (der übrigens in den Niederlanden geboren wurde und auch König von Spanien war) erkannte ihn nach seinem Tod als seinen SOHN an. Ob die Statue da hinpasst oder nicht möchte ich hier nicht entscheiden. Mich stört sie nicht und sie ist schön gearbeitet. Sie ist KEIN politisches oder ethnisches Denkmal. Er hat wie alle Feldherren für seinen König gekämpft. Wenn sich hier jemand auf den Schlips getreten fühlt, für etwas das vor fast 500 Jahren passiert ist dann kann ich das nicht ganz verstehen. Vielleicht wäre es auch ganz gut hier mal Geschichtsuntericht nachzuholen. Ein Glück das in Deutschland Meinugsfreiheit herrscht. Und das ist meine.

A Must-Visit! This place offers a great overview of Regensburg’s rich history — from the inauguration of the iconic Stone Bridge and the city’s most prominent dynasties to the first-ever European Union assembly, which took place here centuries ago. I visited on a Sunday; it was open and free of charge. The reception staff was incredibly kind and even offered me a free guided tour! Although I came alone, the guide was very enthusiastic, and we started the tour just the two of us. As we went along, more visitors joined in, and we ended up being a group of around ten. The tour was conducted in High German. The guide was very helpful, and despite being alone at first, she explained everything with passion. I have above-average German skills, so I could follow over 80% of the tour. Interestingly, she also mentioned that similar tours are available in “easy German” — which means High German spoken slowly, using simpler, more familiar vocabulary.

Absolutely beautiful location! A must see if in the area. Great places to eat nearby.

Spent about half an hour here, didn't get a tour. All displays are in German as well as in English

Beautiful city, lots to do, great restaraunts and shops.

Intro to Regensburg, free entry, some great info here and I particularly enjoyed the film. I wish there had been a model of the Roman fortress that previously existed here. I also wish the top floor had been open - it is closed in winter.

Very friendly staff. Nice exhibition. They have free nice postcard and Stempel

Nice small museum. No entry fee.
