LIFE IN THE UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE
Regensburg, with around 152,000 inhabitants, the fifth largest city in Bavaria, is one of the most rapidly developing places in Germany. Thanks to its historical and political importance, its role as a medieval trading center and its outstanding architectural and urban planning qualities, the "Old Town Regensburg with Stadtamhof" was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2006.
The characteristic patrician towers, the narrow, winding streets and squares with a Mediterranean atmosphere give Regensburg its typical Italian flair. Regensburg is a city with a lifestyle, in which a lot moves, and which, like no other city, offers a harmonious coexistence of old and new.
