Regensburg Germany

Regensburg, in Bavaria, Germany, is one of Germany's oldest towns, founded by the Romans in 179 A.D. Today Regensburg is a prosperous city of about 137,000 inhabitants, 3 universities and many landmarks, most dated to the Middle Ages such as the Cathedral of St. Peter, Old City Hall and Imperial Diet, and the Stone Bridge. Since July 2006 the old city of Regensburg has been a UNESCO World Heritage site. The city center is reasonably compact and mostly pedestrianized, so is best explored on foot. The main attraction of Regensburg is its excellently preserved medieval city center with the cathedral and the stone bridge being the highlights. As one of the few cities in Germany largely undamaged during the Second World War, Regensburg boasts the largest preserved medieval city center in Germany. It is sometimes called "the northernmost city of Italy" due to the lively places and streets with lovely outdoor cafes during summer, as well as the large number of Italian-style medieval merchant houses and towers. The historic center lies next to the river Danube, and crossing the medieval stone bridge into the town provides a perfect entrance to the city.
