The ideal time to rent a camper in Regensburg is during the summer, much like the rest of Germany. June to August marks the peak season for travel, boasting warm and sunny weather. It’s the perfect time to indulge in activities such as swimming in the numerous Bavarian lakes or embarking on a boat excursion along the Danube. Moreover, every two years in June, Regensburg hosts the Bürgerfest, a must-see event where the entire city buzzes with concerts, food stalls, and happenings in the city center and along the Danube’s banks. Additionally, the annual Jazz Festival takes place in June.
Spring and fall are also good times to visit Regensburg and the surrounding area, as this is when nature is at its most colorful. Excursions, hikes, and other outdoor activities around the city are perfect at this time thanks to the mild temperatures. In fall, it can get very foggy in the countryside around Regensburg because of its proximity to the Danube, so you should drive carefully and always switch on your fog lights. In winter, there are beautiful Christmas markets such as the Christmas market at Haidplatz, the Lucrezia market at Kohlenmarkt, or the fairytale Christmas market at Thurn und Taxis Castle.
