2026 Upper Palatinate Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in January)

The Marienplatz of Munich is in the centre of the city and it is one the most liveliest place in central Munich. It is a place where all the main streets meet and it is one where it is bustling with people and shops, cafes, etc. Marienplatz is a tourist attraction and it is a place where you must visit. The architecture around the place will take your breath away and it is full of culture and history. It shows you the way of life for the Germans in Munich and I love the energy at Marienplatz. If you're in Munich, Marienplatz is a place to drop by and soak in the atmosphere. #wecreate

A Medieval Jewel on the Danube, Where Time Stands Still I visited Regensburg, one of Germany's oldest cities. Having largely escaped the devastation of World War II, it's a living museum, with traces of the Roman era from 2,000 years ago to the Middle Ages still intact. 🏛️ A Scent of History and Culture Regensburg was once the political center of the Holy Roman Empire, and a city that amassed immense wealth through trade along the Danube. Strolling through its narrow streets feels like stepping back in time to the Middle Ages. The towering "Patrician Towers," built by nobles to flaunt their wealth, create a distinctive skyline. 📍 Must-See Attractions | Steinerbruecke (Stone Bridge) | Built in the 12th century, this is the oldest stone bridge in Germany. It's said that armies crossed this bridge during the Crusades. The view of the Old Town from the bridge is breathtaking. | | Regensburg Cathedral | The pinnacle of Bavarian Gothic style. Not only is its grand exterior impressive, but the interior, illuminated by medieval stained glass, exudes a reverent atmosphere. | | Historic Sausage Kitchen (Wurstkuchl) | Located right next to the Stone Bridge, this is **the world's oldest sausage house**. Enjoy charcoal-grilled Nuremberg sausages and homemade sauerkraut by the riverside. | | Porta Prattoria | These are the remains of a city gate built by the Roman legions in 179 AD. The sight of ancient Roman stone walls still embedded within the walls of modern buildings is truly impressive. | While Dresden showcases the splendid and magnificent "triumph of reconstruction," Regensburg embodies the "true Middle Ages," etched with the passage of time. Sitting on the banks of the Danube, sipping a cold beer and gazing at the 800-year-old Stone Bridge was one of the most relaxing moments of my trip. Highly recommended for those who want to escape the noise of the big city and experience the quiet charm of old Germany. 💡 Tip: While walking near Regensburg Cathedral, you might be lucky enough to hear the world-famous boys' choir, the Regensburg Domspatzen! #germany #europetravel #regensburg #regensburg #overseastravel #germanytravel
