Regensburg
Regensburg (also known as Ratisbon) is a charming and historic city of about 130,000 people in eastern Bavaria on the Danube River. It flourished in the Middle Ages as a major trading center - coming into contact with cultures from Italy, Bohemia, Russia and Byzantium - and as the primary meeting place of the Holy Roman Empire. Many of its medieval monuments still stand today, leading UNESCO to designate Regensburg's historic center a World Heritage Site. Among them are the remains of two 9th-century imperial palaces, a beautiful Gothic cathedral rich with medieval art, and a Romanesque monastery church with a unique carved portal.
