Regensburg

At the far end northern end of the Danube River, a fortification was built for the Roman emperor, Marcus Aurelias, in 179. It was called “Castra Regina” and corresponds to what is today the core of Regensburg’s Altstadt (“Old City”). Tourists can meander through this medieval city and absorb the rich history of architecture and art. The city sustained little damage from the bombings at the end of World War II, and offers visitors the unique opportunity to study the unbroken past of this town.
