Visit Passau

Not as great as advertised. The old city center is quite nice. The views of the rivers are nice too. Worth a day trip if you're in the neighborhood. Parking situation sucks. There are parking garages that actually close from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. We got up at 4 a.m. to get on the road early to beat the traffic when we noticed the garage being closed. It's the first time it ever happened to us. No way to get in and anywhere near your car. It was 10.30€ for a day. It was the Parkhaus Wöhrl. By the way you can't pay by debit card and you should have the right amount of money with you. If you put in 50€ you don't get any change back! WTF?! If you want to be able to access your car 24/7 you have to find a garage that doesn't close for the night. There is one for currently 35€ a day. There are parking lots as well but I can't say how safe it is to park your car overnight...

We particularly loved the Dom and the midday organ concert. Sorry to have missed the Obervasten, but it was soooo hot when we were there that we opted for the Passauer Erlebnisbad (PEB) instead. An easy bus ride from the bus station and what a swimming pool complex!

In Passau, one can walk just about everywhere, but I'd take a taxi from the train station to your hotel. We loved Sello's cafe near St. Paul's church and The Ratskeller near the town hall. It was fun to look at the river cruise ships parked right along the village docks. Don't miss the hike to the old castle across the river as there is a spectacular view of the town from there.

Beautiful historic city (center) at the confluence of three rivers with a rich history. Be sure to take a boat ride or visit the Veste Oberhaus fortress. There is a beautiful view of the city from the Mariahilf monastery.

We stayed on a saturday night which meant most shops trips etc where shut as we arrived late afternoon so didnt do the place justice so would say stay at least 2 nights and had a limited choice of restaurants for an evening meal due to season though we did enjoy a walk by the danube

Since moving to Germany I make a point of visiting Passau for one or two nights most years. I never tire of what Passau has to offer and as an 'older' lady travelling alone I've never had problems with security, the train station is very close to modern shops and not far from the picturesque old town and the river.
