Destinations » Germany » Passau Travel Guide

Passau in Germany dates back to Roman times and lies at the confluence of the three rivers Inn, Ilz and Danube near to the Austrian border.

In the old town you find picturesque squares like the Domplatz, Residenzplatz and Rathausplatz, the church towers of St. Paul's, the convent Niedernburg (with tomb of St.Gisela), St.Michael's, the cathedral and the town hall tower, nooks and crannies, the enchanting footpaths along Danube and Inn.

At the three river conjunction point you witness a most breathtaking natural spectacle, three rivers coming together in one place. In St. Steven's Cathedral you may experience the world's largest cathedral organ.

Christmas Market

With the pleasant smell of "Lebkuchen" (gingerbread), baked apples and beeswax - Christmas is in the air. With almost childlike joy, locals and visitors alike enjoy the Advent and its contemplative charm at the atmospheric Christmas market, held each year in the charming old town of Passau against the splendid backdrop of the Cathedral of St. Stephen.

In the weeks before Christmas Eve (November 26th - December 23rd, 2010), the tastefully decorated square in front of the Cathedral offers a unique flair and a range of high-quality products in stalls. Discover the tastes of regional specialties, as well as a variety of different crafts created by artistic skills that have almost fallen into oblivion. Let the Passau Christmas Market inspire you.

The Three Rivers City offers besides numerous sights a scenic townscape with its highly romantic old town and various attractive shops. One can enjoy cheerful hours in a comfortable atmosphere in picturesque alleys, on cosy squares and in appealingly designed precincts. From the historic old town through the pedestrian zone all the way to the "New Centre" the visitor gets everything which is fashionable and trendy. More than 500 shops with friendly staff - from the small one-line shop to the attractive shopping centre with more than 90 shops - are in a short walking distance in the heart of Passau.
