Ctrl+] will jump between the start and end of blocks. I just tested, and it works for #region blocks for me in VS2010.

Edit: The relevant command is Edit.GoToBrace

Alt+Up, Alt+Down has the same concept. I find it more comfortable. – SimpleVar Nov 23 '12 at 00:19

In my VS2010 that moves the current line up/down one. It may have changed for 2012 though. – TheEvilPenguin Nov 23 '12 at 00:22
Oh, it might be a ReSharper shortcut... Recommended in any case. – SimpleVar Nov 23 '12 at 00:47
control + ] will work for regions as well as any opening curly brackets to closing curly brackets and vice versa. – Devraj Gadhavi Nov 23 '12 at 04:46
Works for VS2015 SP3. Please note that this works only if you click on the word region (or endregion) – Shaul Jan 09 '17 at 18:56

Thanks to this answer, I was able to figure out on Visual Studio for Mac (7), is seemed to default to Shift + Cmd + \ – AmigaAbattoir Feb 22 '18 at 19:52

For Visual Studio 2015, Ctrl + ] doesn't work anymore. But you can use the following:

Thanks for the workaround. With a future update of VS 2015, this issue will be fixed. There is an issue on [GitHub](https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn/issues/7120) for that which is already resolved, so it's just a matter of when the next milestone will be published. – Tobias Mar 01 '16 at 09:50
Let me clarify. Hovering will not do. you need to click on the very word (region or endregion) for this workaround to work. (VS2015SP3) – Shaul Jan 09 '17 at 18:51
Still works on Visual Studio 2019 (v16.11.3) too! – Cheshire Cat Oct 12 '21 at 06:03

The answer is Ctrl + ] as already answered by @TheEvilPenguin.

But I thought to add this awesome link for other shortcuts as well, which can be helpful in speeding up routine tasks in VS.

Save the link page as html in your system, as the link might expire in future.

@Boppity Bop update VS 2015 to Update 2 and it is working again for VS 2015 as well. – Devraj Gadhavi Aug 31 '16 at 13:00

I don't believe there's a standard shortcut in Visual Studio.

Within Visual Studio's options dialog, I did a search through all available commands for anything containing the word "region":

Region commands

But didn't find anything related to navigation, just expand/collapse.

Addins like Resharper and CodeRush may give you what you want, if you have the budget for it. (And they do a lot more besides.)
