Mini guide to Regensburg

Regensburg

Regensburg is located in south-eastern Germany. Both the Danube and the Regen River flows nearby. East of the city is the Bavarian Forest. It covers just slightly over eighty square kilometres yet has a large population of over 130,000 inhabitants.

The city has many tourist attractions. The Gothic Cathedral located in Regensburg was started in the thirteenth century although it was not completed until the seventeenth century. The cathedral was not completely finished until the construction of the towers had been completed in the nineteenth century.

Several monuments can be found within the cathedral’s walls. The medieval bridge is a site to see. It crosses over the Danube and was built in the 1100s. There are also several old churches that are worth a visit. The Church of St. James was built in the 1100s while the St. Ulrich church was built in the thirteenth century. The contrasting styles of these two churches can be seen firsthand. Within the St. Ulrich church there is a museum that contains various religious artworks.

The Town Hall is from the fourteenth century and is worth a visit. There is another castle found in Regensburg as well. This castle is known as the St. Emmeram’s Abbey and is owned by both the Taxis and Thurn families of Germany. There is also another extremely old church dating back to 1010. The St. Emmeram church was built in the thirteenth century is another example of the contrasting styles of architecture found within the city. Be sure to bring a camera because there are many sites to see all around the area.
