Overview

When Napoleon's army came looting, Regensburg's priests painted their priceless silver altar white — and French soldiers walked right past it. This app-based self-guided walking tour reveals stories like these across Germany's best-preserved medieval city, a double UNESCO site that survived WWII nearly untouched.

You'll trace 2,000 years from a Roman gate built without mortar to a Gothic cathedral whose facade holds a thousand carved figures. You'll hear why merchants built towers purely for bragging rights and cross the Stone Bridge where legend says the devil bent the stones in rage.

This Regensburg audio tour works at your pace — no schedule, no group. Pause for coffee, linger in a Rococo chapel, skip ahead. Works offline too.

If you'd rather absorb a city on your own terms than rush with a crowd, this was made for you. Over 20,000 travellers have used our self-guided tours, backed by a full refund guarantee.
