The real Regensburg lives beyond the tourist trail. In the neighborhoods where locals actually spend their time, you'll find places like Historic Sausage Kitchen (Historische Wurstkuche) and Schloss Thurn und Taxis that make a city worth knowing. Even around well-known spots like Stone Bridge and Regensburg Cathedral, one street over the crowds disappear entirely.
A remarkably intact medieval trading city on the Danube, with the oldest stone bridge in Germany and over 1,500 listed buildings.

Most visitors come to Regensburg for the well-known history and architecture attractions, but the most memorable moments happen off the main path. Side streets one block from Stone Bridge, residential quarters, quiet courtyards — these are the parts of Regensburg that feel genuine. Places like Historic Sausage Kitchen (Historische Wurstkuche) and Schloss Thurn und Taxis are the kind of spots locals would actually recommend.
Cross the Stone Bridge from the north bank into the old town. The medieval center is compact and entirely walkable.
May through September. The Regensburg Christmas market around the Neupfarrplatz is one of Bavaria's finest.
