One of the MOST PICTURESQUE Cities along the Danube River | PASSAU, GERMANY

We’ll start the city tour at the Veste Oberhaus, a 13th century fortress located atop a hill just north of the Danube river.

We’ll continue to the Pilgrimage church of Mariahilf located in the Innstadt, just south of the river Inn. Afterwards, I’ll take you on a walking tour loop through the Innstadt and crossing over a bridge above the Inn river.

Next we’ll explore the city center which comprises the Neumarkt and Altstadt, which is the old town known for its baroque architecture, including St. Stephen’s Cathedral featuring one of the biggest organs in the world.

At the eastern tip of Old town is where the river Danube is joined by the Inn from the south and Ilz from the north giving Passau its Nickname Drei-Fluesse-Stadt which means “City of Three Rivers”.

At the end of the tour we’ll return to Veste Oberhaus for spectacular nighttime views of the city.
