Regensburg, Germany

Regensburg by Foot

The City of Marcus Aurelius Witness a true medieval city almost untouched by World War II bombing and rich in architectural splendor. Set off on foot to explore Regensburg, one of Germany’s best-preserved cities and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As you walk with your guide, see some of the city walls erected by Marcus Aurelius upon its founding and pass the Old Town Hall. Take in the 12th-century Old Stone Bridge, a 14-arch feat of medieval engineering, and the Alte Wurstküche or “Old Sausage Kitchen,” one of Germany’s oldest restaurants. Gaze up at the 164-foot-tall Golden Tower, a medieval status symbol built by a local Patrician family. Conclude your exploration of Regensburg at the Gothic St. Peter’s Cathedral, where you may choose to go inside on your own to glimpse its impressive stained-glass windows. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines. Total time walking or standing normally ranges from 1.5 to 3 hours.
