Overview: car trip from Munich to Regensburg

Driving from Munich to Regensburg is a trip back in time. The Bavarian landscape is full of traditional towns and fields of grain and barley that will one day become the bread and beer for which this region is known. The weather is generally mild and hospitable year-round, but as the Germans say, “there is no bad weather, only bad clothing.”

A road trip from Munich to Regensburg covers 75 miles (125 km) of Bavarian countryside. The drive takes place mostly along Highways 9 and 93, making for quick and easy navigation. Germany has a modern highway system with well-defined roadways and plenty of alternative routes in case of road closures. With Daytrip, you can leave navigation to a local expert who knows the way like the back of their hand.

Stop by small cities like Ingolstadt and Straubing, with their charming downtowns, or Burg Trausnitz for a look into the medieval elite lifestyle. At the end of your trip, you’ll arrive safely in Regensburg for the next part of your journey through Germany.

About Regensburg

Your trip from Munich to Regensburg awaits, but first, let’s learn more about this medieval time capsule city.

Roman Regensburg

Regensburg is situated in Bavaria, a state in southern Germany. It was known by the Romans as Castra Regina when it was founded in 179 AD as a strategic military base at the northernmost point of the Danube. During the Middle Ages, it flourished as a bustling trading hub, joining the Hanseatic League in the 13th century.

The city became an important center for culture, religion, and commerce, earning its nickname "the northernmost Italian city" due to its architectural resemblance to Italian cities. Regensburg also played a significant role in the Holy Roman Empire, hosting numerous Imperial Diets.

World War II

Regensburg had several key military factories for aircraft and oil refining that were targeted by the Allies’ bombing raids during World War II. Immediately following World War II, Regensburg was the site of the largest displaced persons camp in Germany and housed a large proportion of Ukrainians, who even had their own post office within the displaced persons camp. Despite suffering damage during World War II, Regensburg’s well-preserved medieval core earned it UNESCO World Heritage status in 2006.

Regensburg today

Starting in the 1960s, Regensburg invested in infrastructure to attract businesses and improve conditions following the war. OSRAM, Infineon, Siemens, and BMW are just a few of the multinational companies that have set up factories and sometimes headquarters in Regensburg today.

When you visit Regensburg, you’ll find beautifully preserved medieval architecture amid a modern, industrial city. Regensburg is also celebrated for its vibrant cultural scene, with numerous_ volksfests_ and concerts throughout the year, attracting visitors from far and wide. It is one of the more popular cities for Germans to vacation within their own country. Come visit and find out why more than one million people visit Regensburg every year!

From Munich to Regensburg: travel tips

Follow these easy-to-follow tips for the best trip from Munich to Regensburg.

Have cash on you

Germany uses the euro as its currency, like many countries in Europe. While cards are commonly accepted at large shops on busy streets, you may come across smaller businesses that only take cash. The market stalls at volksfests also tend to be cash only. Have enough euros in small bills for purchases of souvenirs or lunch while you travel between Munich and Regensburg.

Get the best conversion rate

If you’re paying with a card, select your home currency when prompted by the credit card reader. It will ensure you get the best conversion rate from your bank and not have your money converted twice. It is not a large difference, but it does add up over a long trip to Europe.

Bring a portable battery for your phone

Don’t let your phone die on your day trip to Regensburg! A fully charged battery pack and a charging cable can help ensure your phone lasts the whole day. For added battery savings, turn off your mobile data and Bluetooth when not in use.

Check the rules for visiting Dachau

One of the stops offered by Daytrip is the Dachau Memorial a short distance from Munich. There is no reservation system for guided tours; you just have to arrive before a tour and sign up. But you can also walk around the grounds without a guided tour.

Children under 13 years of age cannot participate in the guided tours due to their graphic nature, but they can join you in walking the grounds. Consider your family’s sensitivity to tough topics and your children’s ages before planning your visit. Discuss with them beforehand the appropriate behavior at Holocaust memorials.

How to get from Munich to Regensburg

You have many options for transportation from Munich to Regensburg. When choosing how you’ll get to Regensburg, consider your budget, how much time you have, and whether you plan to visit other cities and sites nearby, like Ingolstadt.

Munich to Regensburg with a private car service

A private car service combines the flexibility of renting a car with the perk of not having to drive in a new country. Let someone else worry about exit signs and speed limits while you enjoy the views on your vacation. The Bavarian countryside is a relaxing backdrop dotted with villages frozen in time, breweries, and rolling grain fields in between small cities.

Your Daytrip driver will pick you up from your hotel (or the airport!) in Munich, take you to the sightseeing stops of your choice, and safely arrive in Regensburg. The drive takes 90 minutes nonstop, so it is the perfect length for making a full tour out of the trip.

Daytrip drivers speak English and German, so communication will be a breeze. They also know the roads well because they live here! Our vehicle fleet can accommodate children’s car seats and the handicapped, so ask ahead about those options. With insured vehicles and a track record for safety, you can rest easy on your trip. Secure a seat for $88 (€81).

Munich to Regensburg by bus

Flixbus operates buses between Munich and Regensburg that cost about $11 (€10) and take around 2 hours. Purchase your ticket before you get to the platform, and arrange your schedule to be at the Munich central bus station at least 30 minutes before departure. Each passenger is allowed one piece of luggage to store under the bus.

Munich to Regensburg by train

Deutsche Bahn (DB) and Alex operate direct trains from Munich to Regensburg multiple times daily. The trip takes a quick 90 minutes, and you can choose from economy or first-class seats. Expect to pay $32-$43 (€30-40) per passenger. You can check the timetable and buy tickets online. German trains tend to be relatively on time and dependable.

Things to do when you get to Regensburg

After a quick 90-minute drive from Munich to Regensburg, the day is yours to step back into medieval times. After a stroll around the historical old town, do these key activities:

Have a sausage at the salt warehouse

Salt is an important food preservative and was important for the transportation of food up and down the rivers. Visit the 17th century Historic Salt Warehouse and museum for a look into the technology people used to store and ship food. The visitor’s center for Regensburg is also located in the museum.

Right next to the warehouse, visit the Historic Sausage Kitchen, one of the oldest continually operating restaurants in the world. For nearly 900 years, it has been feeding the people of Regensburg and the traders and craftsmen who came for work. Continue in this tradition with bratwurst and bread!

Cross the Stone Bridge

This 12th-century stone bridge spans the Danube River and is one of Regensburg's oldest and most iconic landmarks. The Steinerne Brücke was also Regenburg’s only bridge until the 1930s. It has withstood the test of time and is a great example of that famous German engineering.

Legend has it that the bridge builder and cathedral builder had a bet to see who would finish their projects first. The bridge builder made a pact with the devil in exchange for the first three souls to cross the bridge. When the bridge was completed, the builder sent a hen, a dog, and a rooster across first.

Cruise the Danube

Regensburg is built on the confluence of three rivers: the Danube, the Regen, and the Naab, so there is plenty of water to navigate. This led to a strong trading economy as merchants from all over Germany and central Europe met in Regensburg to trade their goods.

Experience the beauty of the Danube River with a leisurely boat cruise that takes between 1 and 3 hours. Relax as you glide past scenic landscapes and medieval castles along the riverbanks. If you’d prefer to stay on land, there are promenades and parks all along the riverbanks, as well as biking paths.

Spot the tower houses

The Patricians, or ruling class elites who made their wealth on the river trade occurring in Regensburg, built homes with tall towers or defense of their power. Each family worked to out-tower the others, and as a result, when you walk around Regensburg, you can spot towers jutting out of otherwise regular residential buildings.

Experience Bavarian culture at the Regensburg Dult

Treat your taste buds to authentic Bavarian cuisine at one of Regensburg's traditional beer gardens or cozy taverns during the Dult. Sample local specialties like sausages, schnitzel, and pretzels, accompanied by refreshing Bavarian beer brewed according to centuries-old traditions.

When is the best time to visit Regensburg

The Regensburg Dult is a traditional folk festival (similar to Oktoberfest) held twice a year in Regensburg, and these are great times to visit with temperatures around 73°F to 77°F (23°C-25°C). The Regensburg Dult holds a special place in the hearts of locals and visitors alike, serving as a beloved traditional volksfest during May and August.

If you can, we recommend lining up your trip to Regensburg with the scheduled dates of the Dult. One of the highlights of the Regensburg Dult is its lively market atmosphere, where you can browse through rows of stalls selling a variety of goods, including traditional Bavarian crafts, clothing, household items, toys, and souvenirs. The market is also known for its delicious food and drink offerings, with vendors serving up local cuisine.

It was a fantastic trip.

“We were extremely satisfied with the quality of service we received from Day Trip. We had two Day Trip rides on August 31 from Athens to Lefkada and September 7 from Lefkada back to Athens. Both trips included stops at scenic sites in Greece. Both drivers were excellent and accommodating. However, we’d especially like to recognize Panos Peppas, who was our driver from Lefkada to Athens. Panos was incredibly nice & pleasant and delivered outstanding customer service, which included handling all of luggage, providing us with cold waters throughout the trip, providing us protein bars, providing us with printed materials on the Corinth Canal (one of scenic stops), looking up and providing us with terminal & gate info for our flight back home and providing us with a recipe for tzatziki.”

Reasonably Priced and Safe Transportation

“Gonzalo from daytrip was our driver and he was absolutely amazing. He went over and beyond trying to locate us as our service wasn't so good on our phones. He patiently awaited our arrival to the lobby so he could take us from Tulum Dreams Resort to our other hotel in cancun an hour and a half away near the airport prior to our departure flight home. He was polite, respectful and kind. Made sure we were comfortable during our long ride. Fast and to the point. I recommend this company as finding a one way ride from Tulum to Cancun isn't easy or cheap and this company provides a great service for a great price. I will definitely be using them again whenever I'm in the Cancun/Tulum area. Thank you DayTrip and Gonzola.”

Daytrip never disappoints

“We were picked up by Marianna to drive us from Heraklion to Chania. The weather was terrible & due to this Marianna arrived a few minutes late. She contacted me to advise of this. Marianna lives in Chana and she made our trip very interesting by informing us of local things to do and see in Chania. Marianna is a safe driver and we all felt comfortable with the speed she drove at and how good her driving was in heavy rain. She is a lovely person with fluent English. We highly recommend Daytrips and if you are in Heraklion or Chania please make sure you ask for Marianna.”

Great way to travel and see some sights on the way

“We did not know what to expect with this trip and booked from Australia. We were initially looking for an easy way to travel from Granada to Malaga. We decided not to waste the opportunity to see something additional on our way. Miguel certainly exceeded our expectations. His English was excellent (unfortunately we speak very little Spanish), and he was very friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the regions as we passed through and also discussing some of the local ways. Miguel took us to Antequera as planned and ensured we were able to easily get our tickets to the attractions without any sense of rushing us. We were picked up and dropped off punctually and really enjoyed our trip. Hopefully we will return to Spain and we can use this service again sometime.”

Regensburg to Munich

“A traveling group of eight of us just recently completed a Danube River cruise from Budapest to Regensburg. We planned ahead to extend our stay in Bavaria and spend a few days in Munich. We needed transportation from the Regensburg docks to our hotel in the Munich city center. I contacted Daytrip. This was not one of their currently advertised routes but they were happy to provide our needed transport. Their English-speaking driver collected us dockside. The van was nice and clean with adequate room for the eight of us and our luggage. After a pleasant drive, he delivered us safe and sound to our hotel.”
