Golf Museum (Golfmuseum Regensburg)

The basics

The Golf Museum of Regensburg sits down an alley around the corner from Regensburg Cathedral but is too niche to be included on most city tours. You can visit the museum in around an hour, exploring on your own or asking questions of the curator, who is sometimes present. When done, head to the nearby medieval town hall, which has its own museum, or wander the historical center's streets and squares.

Things to know before you go

• You may be able to organize an out-of-hours visit to the museum by calling the museum.

• Access to the museum is via a spiral staircase and is not accessible to people using wheelchairs.

• You can only buy tickets to this private museum in person, and operating hours may vary.

• Children are welcome in the museum, and those under 14 enter for free.

How to get there

The Golf Museum of Regensburg is located in the historical center of the city under the Antikhaus Insam shop, so walking is usually the easiest way to get there. If you are coming to the museum from outside Old Town, you can ride the A bus to the Domplatz bus stop outside the cathedral and walk the short remaining distance.

When to get there

The Regensburg Golf Museum is open every day except Sunday from mid-morning through early evening. While it is unlikely to get busy in the museum, the highest chance is from June to October, when river cruises peak. The indoor Golf Museum is an ideal activity for rainy or chilly winter days.
