Visitor Tips: Travel and Accommodation in Regensburg

• The castle courtyard sits right in Regensburg's old town and is easy to reach on foot or by public transport
• Since these are outdoor evening events, a light sweater or jacket is worth packing for cooler July nights
• Popular shows such as opera galas or concerts by major stars often sell out early, so booking ahead is advisable
• As a UNESCO World Heritage city, Regensburg gets busy in summer, so accommodation should be booked well in advance
• A stroll through the old town or a visit to the adjoining palace museum pairs well with a festival evening
