Introduction to Passau

191km (119 miles) E of Munich, 117km (73 miles) SE of Regensburg

For years, Passau languished in a lost corner of West Germany. But since reunification, the beauty and nostalgia of this old city has been appreciated more and more. With its romantic river setting and stately streets, Passau is a city of great harmony. It's located at the confluence of the Danube and two of its tributaries, the Ilz and Inn rivers. Passau's bustling port is worth a visit in itself.
