Terrific tour with Petra.
Lisa_P, Dec 2024
Petra was so much fun, and extremely knowledgeable about Passau. We very much enjoyed our tour with Petra, and loved Passau. She even gave us a great dinner recommendation and shopping tips.

A location built on three reivers and an amazing history

Probably the best way to see Passau and not to miss the many fascinating buildings and stories about the town. In many ways dominated by water as the lines on the buildings designate the flood levels over the years.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed discovering Passau's rich history and unique architecture. The water level markers are indeed fascinating reminders of the town's past. We look forward to welcome you on another tour soon.
Beautiful river-side city with lots of history.

Passau is a beautiful and picturesque city at the confluence of the Inn and Danube Rivers. One can imagine the history that has taken place here. City Hall, the Cathedral and the Passau Glass Museum are all well worth the time to visit and learn. This is a city where spending the night to get a daytime and night time experience is a good investment.

Passau is small enough to do on your own (steep climb to the Cathedral and back…)
DodoDidi, Dec 2022
We were able to wander this small city on our own. The St. Stephen’s cathedral was undergoing internal renovations, so while we had to peer around the scaffolding, we could see the splendor of the site. Cute public toilet in the lower park that had soap, faucet and dryer all in the same place-very efficient!
Itinerary
We start the tour at the square of the cathedral, which allows us a gracious tour along the Royal Promenade, following the steps of Barbarossa and Empress Elisabeth “Sissi” of Austro-Hungary.
First sight is the real star of the day: St. Stephen’s Cathedral. It is the largest baroque cathedral North of the Alps and home to the largest pipe organ in all of Europe.
We continue to the former Bishop's Residence until we reach the wonderful town hall, It’s time to cross the Danube via the Luitpold Bridge and walk up the path to the “Veste Oberhaus” which served as the fortified residence of the bishop of Passau, offering a spectacular view of the entire city and the river valley.
On the way back to the old city, we cross the same bridge again, so that we can admire and photograph the tip of land where the three rivers join to form the mighty stream that is the Danube. Pass by the local Town Hall, mainly built in the late XIV century on the banks of the river. Notice the 19th century tower with the largest carillon in Bavaria.
Take your time to enjoy the spectacle and the surroundings before we move to rediscover the old town and end our tour.
