Regensburg, a Bavarian city on the Danube River in southeast Germany, is known for its well-preserved medieval core so a walking tour was the perfect way to see the sights.

So what did we see today;

The 13th-century Cathedral of St. Peter (Regensburger Dom), with its two 105-meter-high spires and magnificent west front dating from 1395-1440, is the finest Gothic church in Bavaria. Its spacious interior is of great beauty, its most notable features being its superb 13th- and 14th-century stained glass and the figures of the Annunciation from 1280 on the two western piers of the crossing. Adjoining the beautiful 14th-century cloister is the Romanesque All Saints Chapel with its wonderful wall paintings, and on the north side is St. Stephen's Chapel, which dates back to AD 800.The cathedral is famed for its boys' choir, the Domspatzen, as well as for its hanging organ, the largest of its kind in the world, and a highlight of any visit is to hear either source of music in action.

The heart of Regensburg's wonderful UNESCO-World-Heritage-status Old Town focuses around the Alter Kornmarkt, or Old Cornmarket. On the south side of the square stands the Alte Kapelle (Basilica of the Nativity of Our Lady or Our Dear Lady of the Old Chapel),dating from 1002 with its sumptuous Rococo interior. It is the oldest Catholic place of worship in Bavaria.

Ostentor Starting in 1284, the Ostentor (East Gate) was built on the eastern edge of today's Old Town of Regensburg. It was one of six gate towers of the former city fortifications and was built to protect the so-called "Ostenvorstadt". The Ostentor is one of the most beautiful Gothic city gates in Germany.The Ostentor is the only completely preserved city gate of Regensburg. It is still used every day by vehicles and pedestrians.

The dazzling yellow Rathaus, built in the 1200s, is not only a great backdrop for your holiday photos, it also preserves centuries of history behind its walls. Its medieval interior houses a museum open for the public.

The Old Stone Bridge is a marvelous feat of engineering, especially considering that it was built way back in the 12th century. The 310 meter long bridge with 16 arches is great for a stroll, enjoy wonderful views of the River Danube and take the best photos.

St Emmeram's Basilica, also known as Schloss Thurn und Taxis, is a former Benedictine monastery founded back in 739.

The basilica has a superb Romanesque porch built in the 12th century, an ornate interior and a beautifully carved doorway.

Neupfarrplatz, In the Middle Ages, Regensburg's Jewish quarter was located here. There is evidence of a Jewish community in Regensburg since the year 981. Its origins can be traced back to a significant event in 1519 when the Jewish population, which had settled in the area around 1000 AD, was expelled.The fountain on the square with an imperial double eagle , city and imperial coat of arms dates from the middle of the 17th century, the obelisk-like fountain pillar and the grille from 1730.
