Key facts of the tour
What makes Passau so special? The old town centre is situated on a promontory at the confluence of the Danube, Inn and Ilz rivers. Baroque buildings in softly glowing colours line narrow streets and alleyways. After a town fire in 1662, Italian artists in particular characterised the reconstruction of the town. Because of this and the omnipresent water, Passau is also known as the "Bavarian Venice". Join us on a walk to the cathedral and the Danube, which will also take you to the unique glass museum. The tour is not too long and, with a warming stop at the Brauhäus, is also ideal for autumn and winter.
