REGENSBURG IS CULTURERegensburg is an exciting cultural metropolis: the Thurn und Taxis Palace Festival, Early Music Festival, Bavarian Jazz Weekend, rock, pop and classical concerts, cabaret, theatre, exhibitions – visual and aural extravaganzas can be enjoyed throughout the year.

REGENSBURG IS THE DOMSPATZEN BOYS’ CHOIRThe oldest boys’ choir in the world, the Regensburg Domspatzen, looks back over a 1000-year history and can be heard every Sunday and holiday in St. Peter’s Cathedral. The brother of Pope Benedict XVI was the choir master for many years.

REGENSBURG IS PRINCELY Since the 18th century, the history of the city has been shaped by the House of Thurn and Taxis. The spacious grounds of the palace, including the St. Emmeram cloisters and the Princely Treasure Chamber, are open to visitors.

REGENSBURG IS THE DANUBEA boat trip on the Danube is simply a must. Be it a “strudel” (the whirling currents in the river) trip, an excursion to Walhalla or through the Danube Gorge to Weltenburg monastery.

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. Modern shops and traditional establishments abound in the city’s medieval alleyways and on the expansive squares alongside its attractions.
