Regensburg in 60 seconds

Regensburg's old town kept much of its medieval merchant fabric, with tall houses and narrow lanes leading to the Stone Bridge. The cathedral is the visible landmark; the Danube crossing explains the city's trading position. Walk both banks to see the skyline from Stadtamhof. The UNESCO property is substantial enough for a full day, and an extra night leaves room for museums and the river without rushing.
