Passau is a German city in Lower Bavaria, located at the confluence of three rivers: the Danube, Inn, and Ilk. Known as the Three Rivers City, Passau is a popular college town with many students attending the University of Passau.
One of Passau's most famous attractions is the Veste Oberhaus, an ancient fortress dating back to the 13th century. The impressive Gothic structure today includes a museum and, due to its hilltop location, excellent views of Passau's rivers and city. St. Stephen's Cathedral, a magnificent Baroque cathedral, is also worth a stop. However, if you simply want to enjoy a stroll around the city, the square in front of the cathedral is an excellent starting place to encounter some of Passau's most beautiful architecture.
Passau is located right on Germany's border with Austria, so the city is very easy to reach from Austrian cities like Linz or Salzburg. Travel options include intercity coach service with FlixBus and Union Ivkoni or train service with Deutsche Bahn.
