Basilica of the Nativity of Our Lady Regensburg Audio Guide Tour

What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of the old town in Germany? Beer, sightseeing on every corner, and not the most humane ways of punishment. You are not mistaken, because this city has it all. Explore the historic city of Regensburg with this tour! Your immersion in old times begins on the square where the Reichstag was founded. It served as the heart of the city where every citizen used to spend his time. Walk across the stone bridge that is so unbelievably old that it was used by the members of the second and the third crusades in the 12th century, connecting Regensburg channels of trade and transportation for eternity. Continue your tour near the Gothic cathedral, which was being built for a quarter of a millennium, and listen to the bewildering legend associated with it. Touch (literally) the architecture and ideas of that time. Feel its spirit and audacity. Enjoy drinks and food at restaurants steeped in history and equally rich scenery. And, finally, find out about breathtaking stories and rumors about the city of Regensburg.

This self-guided audio walking tour explores Regensburg’s layered past, from Roman remains to Gothic grandeur and princely residences. It is ideal for travelers interested in history, architecture, old town atmosphere, and the story of one of Germany’s best-preserved medieval cities. The route starts at Altes Rathaus in the heart of the Old Town, then leads to the Statue of Don Juan d’Austria and the frescoed Goliathhaus. From there, you continue to the 12th-century Steinerne Brücke over the Danube and nearby Donaumarkt, before reaching Porta Praetoria, a surviving Roman gate from 179 AD. The walk then passes Bischofshof am Dom and the soaring St. Peter Cathedral, followed by the patrician Goldener Turm and historic Neupfarrplatz. In the final stretch, the tour heads south to St. Emmeram’s Abbey and the grand Schloss St. Emmeram of the Thurn und Taxis family, before ending at Haidplatz, one of Regensburg’s most characterful squares. Along the way, the most memorable experiences include standing before Roman stonework, crossing a Danube bridge with 16 arches, gazing up at cathedral spires, and wandering through streets where merchants, bishops, and emperors once passed.
