Passau

Life on three rivers

Passau lives by its agitated history and its lively presence.

Epoches from past milleniums have left their marks on this openminded and culturally active city and its inhabitants.

That is the reason for the large variety of interesting historical points, that this city has to offer.
The “oldtown” is marked by its Italian-baroque-style architecture. This is why this city is also called
“Venice of Bavaria”.

Yet Passau has more to offer than the views of its historical past.

It is also a center for culture and the arts.

From sharp cabaret to the wellknown festival of the “European Weeks” to the most famous exhibitions in its galleries and museums, the city offers unusual entertainment for every taste.

Another unique experience is, to discover the city by boat on one of its 3-river cruises. You can also embark on a cruise on the river Donau for several days, going as far as Vienna or Budapest.

So, due to its cultural life and its history, this city remains excitingly young.
