Cruise Overview

Passau is a German city located in the Southeast of Germany on the Austrian border.

It is situated at the confluence of the rivers Danube, Inn and Ilz.

The Three Rivers City, as it’s also known, is unique for its three contrasting currents of blue, green and black.

Old Town of Passau is home to towering buildings of striking architecture: the majestic fortress Veste Oberhaus, the Pilgrimage Church Mariahilf and St Stephen's Cathedral.

Many of Passau’s attractions can be found in this area, including the New Bishop’s Residence, the Gothic Town Hall, as well as many churches and museums.

Visitors can stroll along the riverfront promenades and romantic lanes whilst enjoying the picturesque landscape.

For modern art, The Museum of Modern Art and Glass Museum Passau are recommended as they offer something a bit different.

Theatre and cabaret are a popular evening pastime, with performances at the former Prince Bishopric Theatre or some lively cabaret and Jazz at the Scharfrichterhaus.

Visitors will also find many traditional local Bavarian and Austrian cafes and restaurants offering a cosy atmosphere with home cooked food from local produce.

Art galleries and centres are in abundance around the city as well as many museums housing international collections and depictions of the history and heritage of Linz.

The architecture of the city also plays an important role in Linz’s cultural heritage with Main Square, Old Town and Mariendom Cathedral being some key attractions.

Families will enjoy a trip to Postlingberg, located high up in the mountains and featuring a zoo, the Grottenbahn and spectacular views of the river and city below.
