| I don't know how much time you'll have in the Regensburg area, but I would promote Kelheim for beer and sites over Regensburg. I (we) were not overly impressed with Regensburg as a tourist or beer destination. If you stay there, Kneitinger has a nice restaurant, and if you ask nicely at the gift shop across the alley, you may get an impromptu tour. Beer is OK. Spitalbrauerei has a nice biergarten, beer is OK. If you're into glassware, I recall they had a unique glass available in their gift shop. Fine cathedral is the main draw for tourists; ask at tourist info for accomodation. I think that's about it for Regensburg. Alternately, Kelheim, 25 km away: Schneider Weisse Brauerei: one of the very best wheat beers. Very nice place. Usually friendly. Nice pub and rooms at Gasthof Bertzl. Wonderful boat ride up the Danube to Weltenberg Abby/Brauerei. Excellent beer, magnificent (small) cathedral, nice beer garden. Nice pub Brauerei Frischeisen, we enjoyed the beers, but it was a while ago. Befreiungshalle: Enormous beautiful monument at the top of a hill. You can walk (if you're in shape), or (I think) take the bus. Organ museum: in an old church at the base of the hill; many old pipe organs on display, and the attendent will probably play a couple for you (if it's still open). Nice town to walk around in. |
