Trip to Regensburg
Located on the Danube River, the Old Town of Regensburg with Stadtamhof is an exceptional example of a central-European medieval trading centre, which illustrates an interchange of cultural and architectural influences. A notable number of buildings of outstanding quality testify to its political, religious, and economic significance from the 9th century. The historic fabric reflects some two millennia of structural continuity and includes ancient Roman, Romanesque, and Gothic buildings. Regensburg’s 11th- to 13th-century architecture still defines the character of the town marked by tall buildings, dark and narrow lanes, and strong fortifications. The buildings include medieval patrician houses and towers, a large number of churches and monastic ensembles as well as the 12th-century Stone Bridge. The town is also remarkable as a meeting place of general assemblies until the 19th century. Numerous buildings testify to its history as one of the centres of the Holy Roman Empire.We are going to explore the city on an English guided tour.
Afterwards we will visit the beautiful Walhalla. The Walhalla is a hall of fame that honours laudable and distinguished people in German history – politicians, sovereigns, scientists and artists "of the German tongue". The hall is a neo-classical building above the Danube River.
After that, you will have time left to discover some more places of Regensburg by yourself or even go on a short shopping tour.
We are looking forward to meeting you and to spending a fun Saturday with you.
