Discover Regensburg by Hire Car
The city on the Danube looks back on a long history. Well-preserved buildings from Roman times and the Middle Ages bear witness to Regensburg’s importance as an early trading centre.
The city’s development was due to its unique location. Three rivers, the Naab, Regen and Laber, flow into the Danube in and around Regensburg.
Sights in Regensburg
The Danube, as the largest of these rivers, runs through the city and is spanned here by the mighty Stone Bridge. A landmark of the episcopal seat of Regensburg is the Cathedral of Saint Peter. It towers over the historic old town.
On a guided stroll through the medieval alleys, past the historic sausage kitchen, the Porta Praetoria or across the Haidplatz, visitors learn many interesting and enjoyable facts about the history of the city and its inhabitants.
Discover the surrounding area of Regensburg
Regensburg is an excellent starting point for excursions into the Altmühltal, along the rivers Naab and Laber and into the Upper Palatinate as well as the Bavarian Forest.
With a hire car, you can reach the Liberation Hall, built to commemorate the battles against the Napoleonic army, Brunn Castle and Rosenburg Castle with its falconry in a short time. By boat you can easily visit the Valhalla in the Altmühltal and the Danube breakthrough.
For larger excursions by hire car, a tour along the Glass Route through the Bavarian Forest is a good idea. In the glassblowing workshops you can watch the masters of this art at work. The scenic countryside surrounding Regensburg is very popular with hikers and cyclists.
