Royal Villa for Maximillian II.
Ostentor
From there, we went through the Villa Park, which brought us to the Ostentor on Ostengasse.
We continued walking on Ostengasse and came across the Brandl-Brauerei where a bear once lived. We would have stopped for beer but they were closed for a few weeks on holiday.

We made our way to the Historisches Museum (or check here) located in Dachauplatz. This is a great place to bring your visitors. It shows how Regensburg was built and how the people lived in the Roman times. As Matthias and my brother went through the museum, I sat in the court yard and had lunch (with a beer) while little Emil fell sleep in his stroller. Here are some photos that were taken:
This is a model of the Porta Praetoria.

After the museum the boys had lunch (and drank beer) and then we headed over to the Thurn und Taxis Palace. We signed up for a tour that lasted over an hour. The palace used to be a monestary and then it was changed to the royal palace. Click on the link above for more details.
Here is a picture of the court yard where you begin your tour, but once inside the palace, no pictures are allowed to be taken. It was 4:30pm when we got out and it started to lightly rain. I was ready to go home, but the boys still had energy and wanted to check out the police station and the Rathaus. Unfortunately, they were closed. I headed home with Emil and they walked around town a bit more. Considering it was a rainy weekend, we found plenty to do and show my brother! Rosa & Matthias & Emil
