→East towards Passau
{{Infobox German Location|country = Germany|pop = 131,489 (31 Mar 2007)|state = Bavaria|plate = R|motorways = [[A3 (Germany)|A3]], [[A93 (Germany)|A93]]}}Regensburg is a city in Eastern [[Bavaria]], located between München [[Munich]] (130km 130 km to the south), [[Nürnberg |Nuremberg]] (Nuremberg, 110km 110 km to the north-west), [[Prague|Praha ]] (Prague, 260km 260 km to the north-east) and [[Linz ]] (230km 230 km to the east). It is a main stop on the way from BeNeLux and [[Germany ]] (except the very south-east) to [[Vienna (Wien)]], [[Hungary ]] and whole Southsouth-Eastern eastern [[Europe]]. Two highways motorways are crossing at Kreuz Regensburg (some 5km from the City center):
* [[A3 (Germany)|A3]] from [[Frankfurt]]-[[Würzburg]]-[[Nürnberg ]] to [[Passau]]-[[Linz]]-[[Vienna|Wien]]* [[A93 (Germany)|A93]] from [[Munich|München]] to [[Berlin]], [[Dresden]] or [[Prague|Praha]]
=== South, North, East towards [[Munich|München]], [[Dresden]], [[Prague|Praha]] ===
* The spot mentioned above is a perfect place for the cars to stop but you will need a sign ([[Nürnberg]], [[Munich|München]] or [[Passau]]). If you wanna go to the north (Berlin, Dresden, Praha) look also for cars going to München and get out after 8km on the Raststätte ''Pentling'' (both directions). There you will find a ride quite fast. Notice that there are no more service stations on the [[A93 (Germany)|A93]]. So your next stop on your way to Praha should be at the border (''Waidhaus/Rozvadov'').
* If you intend to continue your way to the south towards [[Austria]], [[Switzerland]] or [[Italy]] be sure not to end up in down-town [[Munich|München]]. Last chance to change the car is at Raststätte ''Holledau'' (both directions) about 50 km before [[Munich|München]].
=== West towards [[Heilbronn]], [[Stuttgart]] ===
* A good spot is on-ramp ''Regensburg-Burgweintig'' on A3. Take bus #2 (direction ''Schwabenstraße'') and get off at ''Benzstraße''. Walk back and turn wright on ''Landshuter Straße''. Continue about 100 m until you see the on-ramp. Traffic is slow because of the traffic lights and there is enough space for cars to safely stop and pick you up. A sign [[Nürnberg]] might be helpful.
=== East towards [[Passau]] ===
* If you are heading to the east there is an ''Autohof'' at the exit ''Regensburg-Ost'' (#101). Not too many cars there and only suitable to travel along A3. You can reach this place also by bus from the city center. Take bus #9 to ''Neutraubling'' and get out at [http://maps.google.de/maps?f=q&hl=de&geocode=6881126604781930165,48.996097,12.149670&time=&date=&ttype=&q=Junkersstra%C3%9Fe+%4048.996097,+12.149670&sll=48.995002,12.150364&sspn=0.012615,0.040169&ie=UTF8&ll=48.996466,12.149677&spn=0.012614,0.040169&z=15&om=1 Junkerstrasse]). The next service station is Raststätte ''Bayerischer Wald'' some 50 km on your way to [[Passau]]. Notice that the Raststätte ''Passau'' is not very popular as the fuel is much cheaper only a few kilometers after the border at ''Suben''.
