Regensburg's Old Town is like a living history book. In its winding alleyways and ancient buildings, some of which are over 1000 years old, you feel like you've been transported straight back to the Middle Ages. Stroll through the centuries after your lecture and discover a cool bar or two - where else can you experience so much history between a lecture and an after-work beer?
Regensburg is surrounded by three rivers: Danube, Naab and Regen. This special location not only offers beautiful views, but also many leisure activities. Whether it's swimming on the banks of the Danube, a canoe trip on the Naab or simply enjoying a picnic on the banks of the Regen - there's something for everyone here. After a lecture, you can be by the water in just a few minutes and clear your head.
Concerts, karaoke or art: Regensburg has a lot to offer. There is always something going on in the city, not just at the university. In the warmer months, there is something to experience in the city every weekend: people meet at city festivals, at the Dult or at open-air concerts. The annual festival on campus is a particular highlight of the academic year.
Regensburg is famous for its impressive pub density, which is among the highest in Germany. In the old town, pubs line up one after another, and you can always find a free spot in your favorite pub. There's a welcoming atmosphere, as you almost always run into someone you know when you're out and about.
The University of Regensburg is a true campus university, which brings many advantages. All faculties, libraries, cafeterias, and recreational facilities are located in one place. This means short distances and more time for the essentials. Whether you need to quickly get to the next lecture, study in the library, or meet friends in the cafeteria – everything is conveniently within walking distance.
Regensburg scores with its manageable size, which makes everything easily accessible. Whether by bus or bicycle - you can get wherever you want to go in a short time. That saves time and nerves. Whether it's to the university, the old town or the nearest park - the distances are short and convenient.
