Passau

Passau, the city of three rivers at the confluence of the Danube, Inn and Ilz, possesses enormous artistic and architectural treasures. This is a great place to think about taking a holiday, a place to eat well,
celebrate and relax. Picturesque streets, chic pedestrian zones, towers, colourful squares, romantic promenades, all contribute to the Baroque appearance, guarantee delightful moments in a pleasant atmosphere. Framed by the Veste Oberhaus Castle to the north, and the Maria Sanctuary to the south of the city, it is completely imbued with the architecture of the Italian masters in the 17th century. The city, once the residence of princes and bishops, has always offered an ideal environment for the arts and artists. St Stephen's Cathedral is impressive, as is its organ, the largest in the world. Passau is a city deeply rooted in modernity, the variety of shops is far from that of the local cuisine. In fact, the restaurants offer the best of Bavarian and Austrian cuisine.

If you want to have a good time, don't hesitate to push and open the door of one of the many bistros, cafés, bars and restaurants or one of the old inns. A cruise holiday is considered by many people the most beautiful way to travel and get to know the landscape. Plenty of sights to see in this beautiful ancient and modern city await you.
