Best Areas to Stay
Regensburg is popular among tourists, meaning you can find a wide range of accommodations for all budgets and preferences there.
Despite being the fourth largest city in Bavaria, Regensburg is compact and walkable.
Therefore, the best neighborhood in Regensburg to stay in is Old Town or Altstadt in German.
This is the most beautiful part of the city, full of tourist attractions, restaurants, cafes, stores, and all the action.
Nearby Stadtamhof, which is also part of UNESCO, might look like a good alternative, but unfortunately, it has only a few accommodations.
You will find some additional hotels on Regensburg's outskirts.
They offer quiet locations, cheaper rates, and great access to/from the city.
A small disadvantage is that you will most likely need to use public transport to get to the city center.
To conclude, the Old Town and neighboring areas are ideal for most travelers. So, here's the list of Regensburg's top-rated and most popular hotels for all travelers.
