Regensburg
Regensburg occupies a bend of the Danube in eastern Bavaria. Its medieval Old Town, together with Stadtamhof across the river, has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2006, recognised for an unusually intact urban fabric shaped by Roman, medieval and later trade. The 12th-century Stone Bridge was a major Danube crossing and remains one of the city’s defining structures. Above the riverside roofs rises St Peter’s Cathedral, a landmark of High Gothic architecture whose twin spires shape Regensburg’s skyline. The city grew from the Roman legionary camp of Castra Regina and later prospered as an imperial trading centre, while the Danube still gives its historic core a clear sense of direction.

Regensburg straddles the Danube in Bavaria, and its position at the meeting of the Danube and Regen has long made it a trading and transport centre. Founded as the Roman legionary camp Castra Regina in AD 179, the city preserves an exceptionally cohesive medieval core, recognised with Stadtamhof as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The 12th-century Stone Bridge crosses the Danube toward the old town, while the twin spires of Gothic Regensburg Cathedral define the historic skyline. Markets, beer gardens and riverside walks keep this former imperial city closely connected to everyday Bavarian life.

Built around the early medieval Duchy of Bavaria, Bavaria grew into Germany’s largest federal state. The Danube crosses its broad centre, while the Bavarian Alps form its southern edge and include the Zugspitze, Germany’s highest mountain. Munich is the state capital and the home of Oktoberfest, a festival rooted in an 1810 royal wedding. Beyond the metropolis, Franconia’s vineyards, Swabian towns and Alpine resorts reveal how varied this part of Germany can be.

The Rhine, Danube and Elbe have long connected its regions, while the Black Forest and Bavarian Alps give the south a more dramatic relief. Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate and Museum Island reflect the capital’s role in German history and culture. Cologne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rises above the Rhine, and the Bauhaus movement, founded in Weimar in 1919, transformed modern design far beyond Germany.
