Regensburg "A UNESCO World Heritage site, the old town is an exceptional example of a European medieval trading center with clear evidence of the exchange of cultural and architectural influences" - guide

It is said to be an Italian influenced German city and we recognised this similarity to places like Florence, but we also saw some of Stockholm and Copenhagen as we recall them, in much of this city. Very old cobbled squares, grand and small, narrow cobbled lanes, breath-taking architecture and bicycles abound! Young, old, students, VERY old and all in between cycle freely around with never a miss. Babies and little children ride in attached carriages or on seats behind.

Nurnburg - "Nowhere in Germany gives such a powerful impression of the highs and lows of German history as the former free Imperial city of Nurnberg. - guide
