Neat medieval city core…read more The outskirts are like any other European small city, you tell where you are by the signage. The old city center, however, is unmistakably German. Surprisingly well preserved. Loads of nice little shops and eateries. They keep it pedestrian friendly. Loads of old churches, and they are thoroughly representative of their denomination. Great riverfront too.

There are many beautiful cities situated on the beautiful Danube river…read more Places like Vienna and Budapest come to mind. However there are also lots of beautiful little towns that dot this majestic European treasure .. and Regensburg is one of them. This is a great destination for people who are traveling from Bravaria to places like Prague since it's literally on the way (and vice versa). The town itself is not big and old town itself can be pretty much walked from end to end in a matter of hours (and this takes into account time spent wandering in and out of stores). There is a magnificent cathederal in the center of town. If you have a chance, make sure to visit inside and check out the beautiful old architecture. There is a beautiful bridge that leads to town which spans the Danube. You can take some great photos here, though the most picturesque part of the bridge is currently being renovated so you may need to take photos further out. Around town there are plenty of little shops and markets that sell local German fare. I also enjoyed the fact there are a few upscale shops in the central area that helps mix up the experience. There are also a few lovely cafes around town that are worth visiting. There is also a helpful tourist information center within old town that has plenty of maps and information. Personally I really enjoyed my time here. Even though I hit up a lot of cool cities along the way, Regensburg left a really lasting impression.

This is a second-hand review…read more.. While Spousal Unit and I were on a recent river cruise in Germany I came down with a "code in my dose". This derailed my "eat a sausage at every stop" plan. Fortunately SU covered for me as she went happily a'wandering while I sipped hot tea back on the ship. Her comments on the restaurant's traditional Regensberger wurst: fabulous, especially with sauerkraut and sweet mustard on a brodchen roll. She did not bring me a wurst back (her excuse: "it would have been cold", damnit) but she did bring a jar of their mustard: wunderbar! (One of the couples we met on the cruise had been to the Wusrtkuchl before, and they actually brought a spare suitcase to load up for the trip home!). I guess a vicarious thrill is better than none. Next time!

Then we also had the 6 sausages with sauerkraut. The 6 sausages were cooked on a grill while the whites were cooked in a broth. The 6 are about the size of a US breakfast sausage. We also shared the potato salad which had great flavor. It is must stop if you are in the town as it is the oldest sausage shop. They also have their own mustard. We got a jar. It is a little sweeter but super delicious!

Known as Nuremberg in the English speaking world is my hometown, so yes it will get a 5 star rating…read morefrom me. Here you can enjoy modern comfort with a ton of history as it was founded in 1050. A review alone won't touch on all there is to see here. Let's go for the touristy stuff: Start with the Imperial Castle high above the city. Getting up there will give you quite a workout. You can always access the courtyard and enjoy the spectacular view across the entire city, even if you can't go up the tower "Lug-ins-Land", which loosely translated to Look into the Land. If you guess look out tower you are right, also used as the symbol of our city. Everyone here recognizes it's outline. The inside buildings of the castle are not always open, but you can see the stables which have been converted into a youth hostel. You can walk around the massive defense walls, enjoy the castle gardens, I believe there are 3 of them. Make your way down to discover the other sights, which I am just going to list a few to give you an idea of the medieval sights: Duerrer House, the only existing home of a 15th century artist in Europe Tiergaertner Tor: tower, part of the defensive walls, so named for the bear pit that used to be located in the moat surrounding the city. City Walls: Can be seen all over around the 'old' part of the city, along with it's defensive towers and moats. There is no longer water in the extensive moat, but they area is mostly used for recreation today. Lochgefaengnisse: Dungeons below city hall Handwerker Hof: Craftmen's Courtyard, artisan crafts and great shopping Lorenzkirche: Church of St. Lorenz houses one of the largest organs and is famous for the "Englischer Gruss" Woodcarving hanging from it's ceiling. Sebalduskirche: St. Sebald Church houses the shrine of it's namesake, Patron Saint of the city. Frauenkirche: Church of our Lady houses the oldest stained glass windows of the city. Also home to the "Maennleinlaufen" glockenspiel. Schoener Brunnen: Beautiful Fountain, don't forget to turn the brass ring for good luck. Ask a local if you can't find it. Henkersteg: Hangman's Bridge, leads to the hangman's house which is also a museum now Ochsenportal: Statue of a laying oxen by the former meat house and butcher's bridge If you are a WWII enthusiast you are in luck, as Nuremberg is finally embracing it's role in history: Reichspartei Gelaende: former Nazi Rally Grounds, which includes the Documentation center, Zeppelin Field and many more ( I recommend a bus tour to get the full effect) Der Saal 600: Courtroom of the Nuremberg Trials Historischer Kunstbunker: historic art bunker underneath the Imperial Castle, where the party hid priceless artifacts. Museums: Fembo House, City museum Toy Museum: Significant since Nuremberg is famous for toy making as well as the annual toy convention Transportaion Museum: as it's name implies Germanisches Nationalmuseum: largest museum of cultural history in the German speaking world. Bratwurst Museum, Hat Museum, 1.FCN aka Klub Museum, Children's museum, Pigeon Museum, Military Garrison museum, Fire Brigade museum, Hospital museum, and so on... This is just the tip of the iceberg and doen not even touch on all the events and foods you can experience here.

There is still a lot here, the bergfried(keep?) has either been restored or wasn't hit too bad by the French...you can walk to the top and get a fantastic view of the Danau-kanal River up there. You can also tour the dungeon, and see the old cistern. A lot of the outer walls remain. There is a small opening near the cistern that is excavated, but is barred, and I don't know what it is. Possibly an undercroft. Sure looks interesting... Not the easiest place to find, but there is a small sign off the larger road the leads you there on a smaller road. There is a 2€ Self serve fee you drop in a lockbox to enter over the old moat. I love ruins of castles, just loved this place... Small parking lot behind a restaurant nearby, and then a short walk to the castle.
