Hotels in Regensburg

In Regensburg, the Danube gives your visit a clear direction. Cross the Stone Bridge from the old town to Stadtamhof and discover two sides of the World Heritage area. The visitor centre in the Salzstadel adds historical context. This combination suits a first visit that brings city history together with a self-guided riverside walk.

What brings you here?

Understand the World Heritage area

Begin at the visitor centre if you want more than photographs. Historical context helps you look at the bridge and Stadtamhof with fresh attention and choose your own interests.

Spend a weekend beside the Danube

The bridge connects two different townscapes in one walk. Leave time for river views and a break of your choice instead of adding distant excursions to the same day.

Extend a business visit

After an appointment, the Stone Bridge makes a clearly defined outing. Add Stadtamhof when you have longer, planning the return journey to Grunewaldstraße as a separate part of the day.

Explore the city and surroundings

01 / Regensburg

Stone Bridge

The medieval bridge crosses the Danube and is one of Regensburg's defining structures. Do more than simply walk across: compare the views from both sides. A photograph from the riverbank can round off the visit; choose the bank that best suits the next part of your route.

02 / Regensburg

Stadtamhof

Stadtamhof lies between branches of the Danube and shares World Heritage status with the old town. Give this district its own part of your walk. After crossing the bridge, allow time for its streets instead of turning straight back; a break of your choice helps mark the change of setting.

World Heritage Visitor Centre

An exhibition in the historic Salzstadel beside the Stone Bridge explains Regensburg's development. We suggest visiting before your walk or returning afterwards for more context. Check visiting arrangements and choose themes you want to look for outside, linking the exhibition to your own exploration rather than treating them separately.

A day in the area

  1. Morning: history in the Salzstadel

    If opening arrangements suit, begin at the World Heritage Visitor Centre and choose a few themes for your walk.

  2. Midday: cross the Danube

    Take the Stone Bridge to Stadtamhof. Allow for a break and your own walk through its streets.

  3. Afternoon: a different perspective

    Return towards the old town with time for riverbank views. Keep the journey back to the hotel separate from your sightseeing plan.

Getting here and getting around

Use Grunewaldstraße for the hotel and the old town or Salzstadel for sightseeing. Plan the connection between them beforehand: the station, hotel and bridge approach are separate destinations. Use the full address of your chosen hotel when planning your route.
