Passau, Germany: Things To Do In The City Of Three Rivers [Travel Guide]

This time, we stopped in the small city, colourful city of Passau, Germany. The city lies very close to the Austrian border and is also the point where THREE major rivers - the Ilz, Danube, and Inn - meet!

From a stunning cathedral to the charming old town, we had a really relaxing time exploring the city when we visited at the start of September! We even got the chance to hike up to the Veste Oberhaus - a fortress that is over 800 years old - and enjoyed a drink with amazing views! Passau is also a popular stop for Danube river cruises so if you're visiting Passau (for whatever reason), this video should give you a snapshot of what to expect!

Of course, here are our articles with lots of tips for travelling to Passau. We'll add more as we publish them:

The cathedral in Passau is always under renovation, especially the gothic part. I never saw it without scuffholding and I lived there for almost 50 years❤️❤️

Thanks for the insight guys, I've driven past Passau on many occasions and it was good to see what I've been missing!

The city is lovely indeed. The cathedral is a must see, for sure. When I visited Passau it was being displayed the Cathedral history, through projections and classical music, always held on Fridays nights. It was in October 2019... I don't know if it is still there. If so, it's something that shan't be missed!! Loved Passau!!! Great vid!! Lots of love from Brazil!!

Unfortunately the steps up to the Veste Oberhaus were closed so we had to walk up the road. It was difficult to see the views over Passau

I have not yet been to Germany, but I would love to explore the country one day! I tried learning a bit of German before we went to Austria but it is a difficult language to learn all by yourself.

Isn't the Dackelmuseum (Daschund Museum) in Regensburg? I couldn't find another one in Passau.

"The cathedral was under renovation when we visited". Rule of thumb, cathedrals are always under renovation, so there's almost no way you'll ever see them without scaffolding :P

l used to live in passau when l was a child live in usa now

I really liked the video. Great job! What about nightlife? Any cool bars or pubs? Were there riding paths along the river for bicycles? I live in Bavaria and have been wanting to get down there but haven’t been to Passau yet. It looks great.

See where the Hitler's and the Himmler's lived and where little Adolf and little Heinrich played .... not joking.
