Church bells at 6am! So we had an early start to the day in the cool of the morning before the heat of the day. We walked across the street into the DOM and could hear a voice singing/chanting. We thought it must have been a recording playing over the PA which happens in some churches. But it turned out to be a man sitting in one of the pews. The acoustics were marvellous!
Imposing? Awe inspiring?
The streets are narrow, lined with mostly pastel shaded buildings but some brightly coloured ones to provide a nice contrast.
There weren't many people about until after 9am and there seemed to be lots of people on walking tours, presumably people off coach tours or river cruises.
Regensburg doesn't have a Hop on - Hop off bus but it does have "CityTrain" which gives a very good tour of the city with an informative commentary. Well worth taking.
We had a look at the UNESCO display at the tower of the old bridge and then climbed to the top of the tower. We also visited a navigation museum on an old river boat which gave a history of shipping on the river. We also saw people, mainly young, dressed in traditional costume going out for the night.
