A
Altes Rathaus
The seat of the Reichstag (parliament) from 1663 to 1803, Altes Rathaus is now home to Regensburg's three mayors, the tourist office and the Reichstagsmuseum. Tours take in the richly decorated Reichssaal (Imperial Hall) where the delegates convened, and also the stomach-turning torture chamber in the basement. Walk into the old holding cell and look down to the dungeon before entering the interrogation room which bristles with scary tools of the trade. Kids will either love it or freak out.

Ostdeutsche Galerie
The Ostdeutsche Galerie opened in 1966 as a way to maintain a connection with Regensburg's neighbours behind the iron curtain. Today it celebrates wildly diverse contemporary art by artists from former Eastern Bloc communist countries. The museum backs onto the sprawling Stadtpark (City Park) - perfect for combining a visit with a picnic.
