Regensburg was highly rated for old town by 107 guests from the United States!Regensburg Travel Guide
A Bridge to the Past
Regensburg’s cobbled streets, colorful façades and step gables constitute Germany’s best-preserved medieval center. A 12th-century stone bridge crosses the Danube River between the UNESCO World Heritage-listed old town and islands forming the Stadtamhof district.
Regensburg was an important trading center and its wealthy merchants built tall towers, like the Goldener Turm, to outdo each other. The dual spires of its Gothic cathedral tower over red roofs sheltering sidewalk cafes, traditional bierkellers and modern bars.
Niedermünster abbey also has square towers, while the Alte Kapelle’s most impressive feature is intricate gold interior detailing. Nearby Neupfarrplatz houses the annual Christmas markets, while the old town hall is on Kohlenmarkt. Just down the street, a large David and Goliath mural adorns a house.
A plaque outside a more modest house marks Oskar Schindler’s former home. Much grander is Schloss Thurn und Taxis, an 8th-century monastery converted to a noble residence. At the eastern end of a park encircling the historic center, there's a villa built for King Maximilian II of Bavaria. It overlooks riverboats cruising past a more outlandish royal creation, Donaustauf’s Walhalla monument, resembling a Greek temple.

A very nice somewhat modernized medieval city, well worth the trip. The Roman era bridge is presently (2017) being restored but most of it is easily seen and still usable. There are many authentic beer stube and one beer Keller with excellent Bavarian food, go hungry, the meals are heavy and very filling. When traveling, use the intercity bus service Flixbus, it will save you a ton and is as fast as the train.

Regensburg is a beautiful old town.
Regensburg is a beautiful old town. One of the highlights was going to the Wursthausl, purported to be the oldest restaurant in the city, getting a bratwust, and sitting on the bank of the Danube to eat it. There is a large pedestrian zone with many shops tocheck out, and a definite feel of being in a medieval city while walking some of the back streets.

Regensburg has a charming vibe that felt quite different...
Regensburg has a charming vibe that felt quite different from being in Munich. The city center is full of narrow cobblestone alleys/streets with shops, restaurants and bars around every corner that might open up to a large gathering space. The Danube waterfront offers the same with spacious walking areas and the popular stone bridge as well as the Historische Wurstkuchl where you can enjoy beer and sausages. Much history in the city and wonderful sights to see.
We were in town for business so we didn't get to explore as much as we would've liked but we enjoyed our time as short as it was. Best schnitzel I ate was at Dicker Mann and pork knuckle at Kneitinger. Friendly locals who spoke English made our visit that much more comfortable.

The historical museum is excellent, especially for the Roman period (ca. 3rd-4th centuries. It is especially good in transcribing Latin epigraphy and then giving the German translation. One must know German to get the most from it. I hope that they do not "dumb it down" in the new site.

Picturesque traditional town (UNESCO World Heritage city)...
Picturesque traditional town (UNESCO World Heritage city) with roman walls, 11th century bridge across the Danube, Bavarian architecture. Very easy to get around on foot, and runner friendly paths around the city. Welcoming brewery bars (Brauerei am Schloss, Regensburger Weissbrau), yummy brats at the Historische Wurstkuchl. The Christmas markets in December are fun, especially the one in the Thurn und Taxis castle.
“Staff was friendly and helpful. Hotel was excellently appointed - not 5 star but met all of the essentials in an excellent manner. Breakfast was varied and good. Location was close to old town - easy walk. Didn't try the pool or sauna but they looked good.”
“This hotel had a great location if you don't have a car. You can see the train station from the hotel. It is a short walk to everything.
The crescents and small pastries were so good at breakfast. Also they had nice cooked breakfast meats.”
“I was looking for something close to the highway for a one night stop. I didn't have time to get into Regensburg and I didn't want to stay downtown and get tangled up in traffic. For a three star hotel, this little hotel had everything we needed -indoor swimming pool with patio, sauna, steam room, very nice dinning room and plenty of parking. There is also a very nice children's park at the end of the street and a good walking path.”
