Tour description

Follow me through the streets of Regensburg's old town and listen to the stories and legends of almost 2000 years of history. The tour takes us from the beginnings of the Roman fortress to the rise as a medieval trading city and the temporary decline to today's heyday.

Find out why the "Perpetual lmperial Diet" ended after all, what the devil has to do with the Stone Bridge and why Regensburg is considered the "single capital" of Germany.

We start at the House of Bavarian History and walk all the way to Bismarckplatz in the west of the old town. On our way through the countless alleys, we pass some masterpieces of ancient and medieval architecture:

  • the Stone Bridge
  • the old Townhall
  • St. Peter's Cathedral
  • the walls of the Roman fortress
  • the Duke’s Courtyard 
  • ...


 Experience all facets of my adopted home, where every day feels a bit like vacation, and understand why I don't want to move away from here anytime soon.
