Passau

Passau in Germany dates back to Roman times and lies at the confluence of the Inn, Ilz and Danube Rivers, 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 and the enchanting footpaths along the Danube and Inn.

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

With almost childlike joy, locals and visitors alike enjoy the Advent 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.
