Der Haidplatz im Zentrum Regensburgs zählt zu den wohl ältesten und geschichtsträchtigsten Plätzen der Stadt. Einst schritten historische Größen über den Platz. Heute zeugen die prächtigen Gebäude von der historischen Vergangenheit und der Wichtigkeit dieses Ortes.

Drei Gebäude werden unmittelbar mit dem Haidplatz in Verbindung gebracht: die Gebäude der „Neuen Waag“ mit Blick auf die Domtürme, das Thon-Dittmer-Palais sowie der Gasthof „Zum Goldenen Kreuz“.

Letzterer war in der frühen Neuzeit Treffpunkt für wichtige Persönlichkeiten, darunter Kaiser Karl V., König Ludwig I. oder der österreichische Kaiser Franz Josef I. Der einst bedeutendste deutsche Gasthof liegt an der Nordseite des Haidplatzes und beherbergt heute ein edles Café.

Der Thon-Dittmer-Palais lag zuletzt in den Händen der Kaufmannsfamilie von Thon-Dittmer, die zu den renommiertesten und erfolgreichsten Handelsfamilien der Stadt zählte. Heute dient das Gebäude als kulturelle Institution, in dem das Kulturreferat, die Stadtbücherei und die Volkshochschule zu Hause sind. Außerdem finden immer wieder Konzert-, Film- oder Kunstabende darin statt.

Der Haidplatz fungierte zudem zeitlebens als Ort spektakulärer Feste. Im Mittelalter wurden dort Ritterturniere ausgetragen, im 17. Jahrhundert versuchte sich ein waghalsiger Chirurg daran, den Platz nur auf einem Drahtseil zu überqueren. Heute zieht der Haidplatz im Sommer Touristen und Einheimische gleichermaßen an. Hier finden jährlich Veranstaltungen wie das Regensburger Bürgerfest, das Jazzweekend oder der Regensburger Kultursommer statt.
