Regensburg Travel Journal

You might ask, “Why would you go to Regensburg, Germany? I’ve never even heard of it.”

Okay. I might be projecting there. Before the trip that took me there, I’d never heard of Regensburg either. Or maybe I was the only person who’d never heard of it. I didn’t conduct a survey on it. Geography isn’t my strong suit. Maybe it’s yours. Well, aren’t you just sooo smart?

The truth is, I went on a trip that started in Vienna and then on to Prague. I don’t mind flying, but I hate airports. When traveling, I avoid connections if doing so is at all possible and convenient. It’s not always possible to get where I want to go with out one, but if I can, I do.

There were no nonstop flights from Prague back to my hometown, Toronto. Munich was the closest airport with a nonstop.

A train connects Prague and Munich. So I decided to spend a few days there.

I like trains, but the train ride from Prague to Munich is longer than I like to take. So I looked at the train’s route and the stops along it. I investigated some of the towns on the route. Regensburg looked interesting. So I booked some time there to break up the train trip. I’m glad I did.

It’s a charming town and well worth a visit. You can read about my visit there in the posts included in this category. It’s a subcategory of my “Germany” category. Germany is, in turn, a subcategory of my “Europe” category.
