Living and studying in Regensburg

Studying in Regensburg is also worthwhile because of the attractions off campus: Find out what makes Regensburg such a great place to live!

Regensburg's old town is like a living history book. With its winding alleys and ancient buildings, some of which are over 1,000 years old, you get a glimpse of what the city was like in the Middle Ages. Stroll through the centuries after class and discover a cool bar or two – where else can you experience so much history between lectures and the end of the day?

Regensburg is located on three rivers: the Danube, the Naab, and the Regen. This unique location offers not only beautiful views but also numerous recreational opportunities. Whether swimming in the Danube, canoeing 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 reach the water in just a few minutes and clear your head.

Concerts, karaoke, or art: Regensburg has a lot to offer. There's always something going on, not just at the university, but also in the city. During the summer semester, there's something to do in the city every weekend: people meet at city festivals, at the Dult (traditional fair), 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.
