Roman Regensburg

Regensburg is situated in Bavaria, a state in southern Germany. It was known by the Romans as Castra Regina when it was founded in 179 AD as a strategic military base at the northernmost point of the Danube. During the Middle Ages, it flourished as a bustling trading hub, joining the Hanseatic League in the 13th century.

The city became an important center for culture, religion, and commerce, earning its nickname "the northernmost Italian city" due to its architectural resemblance to Italian cities. Regensburg also played a significant role in the Holy Roman Empire, hosting numerous Imperial Diets.

World War II

Regensburg had several key military factories for aircraft and oil refining that were targeted by the Allies’ bombing raids during World War II. Immediately following World War II, Regensburg was the site of the largest displaced persons camp in Germany and housed a large proportion of Ukrainians, who even had their own post office within the displaced persons camp. Despite suffering damage during World War II, Regensburg’s well-preserved medieval core earned it UNESCO World Heritage status in 2006.

Regensburg today

Starting in the 1960s, Regensburg invested in infrastructure to attract businesses and improve conditions following the war. OSRAM, Infineon, Siemens, and BMW are just a few of the multinational companies that have set up factories and sometimes headquarters in Regensburg today.

When you visit Regensburg, you’ll find beautifully preserved medieval architecture amid a modern, industrial city. Regensburg is also celebrated for its vibrant cultural scene, with numerous_ volksfests_ and concerts throughout the year, attracting visitors from far and wide. It is one of the more popular cities for Germans to vacation within their own country. Come visit and find out why more than one million people visit Regensburg every year!

Have cash on you

Germany uses the euro as its currency, like many countries in Europe. While cards are commonly accepted at large shops on busy streets, you may come across smaller businesses that only take cash. The market stalls at volksfests also tend to be cash only. Have enough euros in small bills for purchases of souvenirs or lunch while you travel between Munich and Regensburg.

Get the best conversion rate

If you’re paying with a card, select your home currency when prompted by the credit card reader. It will ensure you get the best conversion rate from your bank and not have your money converted twice. It is not a large difference, but it does add up over a long trip to Europe.

Bring a portable battery for your phone

Don’t let your phone die on your day trip to Regensburg! A fully charged battery pack and a charging cable can help ensure your phone lasts the whole day. For added battery savings, turn off your mobile data and Bluetooth when not in use.

Check the rules for visiting Dachau

One of the stops offered by Daytrip is the Dachau Memorial a short distance from Munich. There is no reservation system for guided tours; you just have to arrive before a tour and sign up. But you can also walk around the grounds without a guided tour.

Children under 13 years of age cannot participate in the guided tours due to their graphic nature, but they can join you in walking the grounds. Consider your family’s sensitivity to tough topics and your children’s ages before planning your visit. Discuss with them beforehand the appropriate behavior at Holocaust memorials.

Munich to Regensburg with a private car service

A private car service combines the flexibility of renting a car with the perk of not having to drive in a new country. Let someone else worry about exit signs and speed limits while you enjoy the views on your vacation. The Bavarian countryside is a relaxing backdrop dotted with villages frozen in time, breweries, and rolling grain fields in between small cities.

Your Daytrip driver will pick you up from your hotel (or the airport!) in Munich, take you to the sightseeing stops of your choice, and safely arrive in Regensburg. The drive takes 90 minutes nonstop, so it is the perfect length for making a full tour out of the trip.

Have a sausage at the salt warehouse

Salt is an important food preservative and was important for the transportation of food up and down the rivers. Visit the 17th century Historic Salt Warehouse and museum for a look into the technology people used to store and ship food. The visitor’s center for Regensburg is also located in the museum.

Right next to the warehouse, visit the Historic Sausage Kitchen, one of the oldest continually operating restaurants in the world. For nearly 900 years, it has been feeding the people of Regensburg and the traders and craftsmen who came for work. Continue in this tradition with bratwurst and bread!

Cross the Stone Bridge

This 12th-century stone bridge spans the Danube River and is one of Regensburg's oldest and most iconic landmarks. The Steinerne Brücke was also Regenburg’s only bridge until the 1930s. It has withstood the test of time and is a great example of that famous German engineering.

Legend has it that the bridge builder and cathedral builder had a bet to see who would finish their projects first. The bridge builder made a pact with the devil in exchange for the first three souls to cross the bridge. When the bridge was completed, the builder sent a hen, a dog, and a rooster across first.

Cruise the Danube

Regensburg is built on the confluence of three rivers: the Danube, the Regen, and the Naab, so there is plenty of water to navigate. This led to a strong trading economy as merchants from all over Germany and central Europe met in Regensburg to trade their goods.

Experience the beauty of the Danube River with a leisurely boat cruise that takes between 1 and 3 hours. Relax as you glide past scenic landscapes and medieval castles along the riverbanks. If you’d prefer to stay on land, there are promenades and parks all along the riverbanks, as well as biking paths.

Spot the tower houses

The Patricians, or ruling class elites who made their wealth on the river trade occurring in Regensburg, built homes with tall towers or defense of their power. Each family worked to out-tower the others, and as a result, when you walk around Regensburg, you can spot towers jutting out of otherwise regular residential buildings.

Experience Bavarian culture at the Regensburg Dult

Treat your taste buds to authentic Bavarian cuisine at one of Regensburg's traditional beer gardens or cozy taverns during the Dult. Sample local specialties like sausages, schnitzel, and pretzels, accompanied by refreshing Bavarian beer brewed according to centuries-old traditions.

If you can, we recommend lining up your trip to Regensburg with the scheduled dates of the Dult. One of the highlights of the Regensburg Dult is its lively market atmosphere, where you can browse through rows of stalls selling a variety of goods, including traditional Bavarian crafts, clothing, household items, toys, and souvenirs. The market is also known for its delicious food and drink offerings, with vendors serving up local cuisine.
