'Mode': TO
Category: Train
Getting TO/AROUND: Regensburg is easily reached from Munich by frequent direct train. It’s a little over two hours and the cheapest ticket is the Bayern Ticket. This costs just 22 Euros and is good from 9:00-03:00 for up to five people so you can easily do a day trip if you get an early start. The train lets you off right next to the old town which is easily explored on foot. If you want to go to Weltenburg to check out the monastery (or the beer ;)), you’ll need to get an early start, especially if you’re coming from Munich. You have to get a bus to Kelheim but they conveniently leave from the main train station in Regensburg. They leave at 8:00, 11:20, and 15:30. They arrive about 40 minutes later. The catch is they only run on weekends and holidays from April till October but check ahead this may change. It cost 5.50 Euros for a day pass. Once in Kelheim, you’ll need to make your way down to the river. It’s a pleasant stroll through a nice town that could be explored if you get an early start. The famous Schneider Brewery is here if you have the time. Boats leave about every 45 minutes depending on the season and take about the same time to get there. The return trip is much quicker as it’s down river. There are quite late boats returning but the problem is you have to be back in Kelheim for the last bus, which is at 17.19. Again, make sure you check as things like this change from season to season. We got the 11:20 bus, caught the 12:30 boat, got to Weltenburg about 1:15. To be safe, we caught the 16:10 boat back for the 17:19 bus. Three hours is just about enough time to explore the monastery and have a nice meal/some beers. A better plan of action is to spend a night in Regensburg and get the early bus to Kelheim. This will give you some time to explore the town, maybe even the brewery as well as more time in Weltenburg. The cruise is full of pensioners but good fun and well worth the 6.60 Euro return trip price tag.

I loved your write-up on my hometown of Regensburg. I think it's a beautiful old city and well worth a trip. While I have lived in the US for many years, I always look forward to going back home to Regensburg. |
