🇩🇪 Deep Dive into Germany|Regensburg City Walk
📍 Regensburg, located in Upper Bavaria at the confluence of the Danube and Regen rivers, is Bavaria’s fourth-largest city (after Munich, Nuremberg, and Augsburg). As one of Germany’s oldest cities, its history dates back to the Stone Age, with Celtic tombs discovered in 2006 tracing its origins to around 400 BC. The Old Town was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2006! 🌟 Must-Visit Landmarks: 1️⃣ Stone Bridge (Steinerne Brücke) 🌉 A medieval stone arch bridge spanning the Danube—Regensburg’s most iconic landmark besides the cathedral. Built over 11 years (likely 1135–1146)! 2️⃣ St. Peter’s Cathedral (Dom St. Peter) ⛪ The heart of the Catholic Diocese of Regensburg and a masterpiece of Southern German Gothic architecture. Rebuilt after fires in 1156–1172, it was largely completed by 1520. 3️⃣ Porta Praetoria 🏛️ Part of an ancient Roman fortress built under Emperor Marcus Aurelius (c. 90 AD) to keep Germanic tribes across the river. 4️⃣ Trinity Church (Dreifaltigkeitskirche) 🔔 Climb the tower for panoramic views of the city! 5️⃣ Old Town Hall (Altes Rathaus) 🏛️ Hosted imperial diets during the Holy Roman Empire era—a symbol of Regensburg’s historic significance. 💡 Why Visit? Walk through 2,000 years of history in a single day! Perfect blend of Roman, Medieval, and Baroque influences. Less crowded than Munich or Nuremberg—authentic and immersive. #GermanyTravel #Regensburg #UNESCO #EuropeanHistory #MedievalArchitecture #CityWalk
