Beautiful Regensburg


We arrived at the old city of Regensburg on Monday morning.   One of the things we did was take a nice walking tour of the city.   As you can see the old town was a maze of narrow, winding streets lined with beautiful old buildings.






There was a church on nearly every block.


 The most stately was the church shown above.   It is the cathedral of St. Peter.   It was very different than most that we had seen so far as it was built in the gothic style.   The interior was much more ominous and dark, but as you can see the stained glass windows were massive.





At one point we went to the top floor of a shopping mall and had these wonderful views of the old city below us.   So clean and charming.   It looked a bit like a picture postcard!


More to come about Regensburg...
