Travel

If you are planning a trip to Germany you must see one of the oldest medieval cities, Regensburg.

As there are many sights to see in the city and it’s impossible to visit all of them within a day, only the most important ones are suggested here.

The advantage of Regensburg is that many of the sights are located in the central area and you will be able to cover quite a bit just by walking around.

Regensburg is one of the best-preserved medieval cities in Europe and there are many old buildings and monuments that you must not miss.

• St. Peter’s Church (Dom St. Peter) The landmark of Regensburg, the Dome St. Peter with impressive colourful stained glass windows from the 13th and 14th century, is the main and the greatest Gothic cathedral in Bavaria. Although the building work started as early as 1260, it was only finished in the 19th century.
• Stone Bridge (Steinerne Brücke) is one of the most important bridges built in the Middle Ages. It was built between 1135 and 1146 and it was the only fortified crossing of the Danube for a long period that was used by rich trading merchants. From here you get a great view of the city.
