REGENSBURG IS A UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITEThe old town of Regensburg is an exceptional example of a European medieval trading centre with clear evidence of the exchange of cultural and architectural influences. A host of exceptional buildings attest to its political, economic and religious importance from the 9th century.
Its urban structures reflect 2000 years of architectural continuity and contain Roman, Romanesque and Gothic elements. The town’s character is still shaped by its 11th- to 13th-century architecture, which recalls the period when it was the centre of the Holy Roman Empire.
REGENSBURG IS LIVING HISTORY179 AD: The Castra Regina Roman fort is established | 6th century: First capital of Bavaria | 1135–1146: The Old Stone Bridge is constructed | 1245–1803: Free Imperial City | around 1260: Construction of the Gothic cathedral begins | 1663–1806: Seat of the Holy Roman Empire’s parliament | 1806: The “Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation” is dissolved here | Since 2006: UNESCO World Heritage Site and visit by Pope Benedict XVI
REGENSBURG IS BAVARIANThe first Bavarian capital has retained its typical flair: traditional beer gardens, hearty dishes, smooth beer and Bavarian lifestyle and culture are to be found at every turn.
REGENSBURG IS LIFESTYLEShopping in Regensburg is a memorable experience in an authentic, historical ambience and can be attractively combined with sight seeing.
