Open Sesame: Families discover hidden corners of Regensburg
On Sunday, October 18, 2026, the Regensburg Adult Education Center invites you to a special discovery journey through the old town. During the family experience "Open Sesame," doors, keyholes, and surprising insights into places that often remain hidden in everyday life open up.
A curiosity and wonder-filled city tour
The tour starts at the fountain in Haidplatz and leads off the beaten path. Families discover hidden chapels, spacious halls, magnificent galleries, and ancient vaulted cellars. Traditional craft businesses and shops can also be part of the approximately two-hour tour.
Fun learning for children and adults
The tour combines history, city discovery, and shared experiences. Children encounter Regensburg not just as a backdrop, but as a lively place for learning. Locked doors, unusual details, and mysterious glimpses spark curiosity, observational skills, and the courage to ask questions. The age-appropriate mediation makes historical contexts accessible for younger family members as well.
Quality time with many moments of revelation
Sometimes the view goes through a keyhole, other times into a room that is normally not open. It is precisely these surprising perspectives that make the city tour a special family outing. Parents and children experience Regensburg together, exchange impressions, and take new stories from the old town home with them.
