Regensburg is a medieval city of Bavaria in southeast Germany.

It is situated on the northern point of the Danube River at its confluence with the Regen and Naab rivers.

The city is famous for its iconic 12th Century stone bridge and sixteen arches, crossing the Danube into Old Town and is the oldest preserved bridge in Germany.

Regensburg is also noted for its 13th Century Regensburg Cathedral and Gothic twin spires that feature prominently on the city’s skyline.

Recently awarded UNESCO World Heritage status, the city is home to many preserved sites.

Visit the the 2nd Century Porta Praetoria which served as the north gate to a Roman camp and St Peter’s Cathedral, with its French Gothic architecture.

Also the 18th Century Thurn and Taxis Palace and the Old Town Hall, which is now home to the Imperial Diet Museum, are also worth a visit.

Regensburg benefits from lots of parks and gardens for visitors to relax in, as well as walks and cycle paths along the banks of the rivers.

Passau is a German city located in the Southeast of Germany on the Austrian border.

It is situated at the confluence of the rivers Danube, Inn and Ilz.

The Three Rivers City, as it’s also known, is unique for its three contrasting currents of blue, green and black.

Old Town of Passau is home to towering buildings of striking architecture: the majestic fortress Veste Oberhaus, the Pilgrimage Church Mariahilf and St Stephen's Cathedral.

Many of Passau’s attractions can be found in this area, including the New Bishop’s Residence, the Gothic Town Hall, as well as many churches and museums.

Visitors can stroll along the riverfront promenades and romantic lanes whilst enjoying the picturesque landscape.

For modern art, The Museum of Modern Art and Glass Museum Passau are recommended as they offer something a bit different.

Theatre and cabaret are a popular evening pastime, with performances at the former Prince Bishopric Theatre or some lively cabaret and Jazz at the Scharfrichterhaus.

Visitors will also find many traditional local Bavarian and Austrian cafes and restaurants offering a cosy atmosphere with home cooked food from local produce.
