Having escaped major damage during World War II, the picturesque town of Regensburg is one of Europe’s best preserved medieval cities, the oldest city along the Danube and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Still today, Regensburg boasts many old patrician houses and other architectural highlights. The Old Stone Bridge, constructed in the 12th century, is a masterpiece of medieval engineering with its 16 arches. St. Peter’s Cathedral is widely considered Bavaria’s best Gothic architectural work. The Old Town’s Neupfarrplatz square is a cross section of history—having served as an ancient Roman gathering place, a thriving Jewish quarter, a bustling marketplace and the site of Nazi book burnings.

Witness a true medieval city untouched by World War II bombing and rich in architectural splendor. Regensburg is one of Germany’s best preserved cities and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. To get acquainted with this gem, you’ll explore it on foot with a local guide, who will share a personal view of the city he knows so well. See some of the Roman city walls erected by Marcus Aurelius upon its founding. You will walk past the Old Town Hall and see the 12th-century Old Stone Bridge, a 16-arch marvel of medieval engineering that still carries traffic today. See the famous Alte Wurstküche (Old Sausage Kitchen), Germany’s oldest restaurant, and admire idyllic courtyards. At the Gothic St. Peter’s Cathedral, gaze up at the Donkey Tower, a remnant of the old cathedral that was left to support this one. The stained-glass windows here are superb. Return to your ship at your leisure.
