Passau Port, Germany

Nestled on the German-Austrian border, Passau is famously known as the "Dreiflüssestadt" (City of Three Rivers) because it marks the dramatic confluence of the Danube, Inn, and Ilz rivers. Adorned with pastel-colored Italianate baroque buildings, clifftop fortifications, and winding cobblestone alleys, it serves as a major gateway for Danube cruises.

Our river boats dock directly at the historic piers, putting you a brief stroll from beautiful town squares, Gothic towers, and scenic riverside trails.

What to Expect in Passau:

• Saint Stephen’s Cathedral: A magnificent baroque church home to the world's largest cathedral organ, featuring over 17,000 pipes.
• Confluence of Three Rivers: Walk to the green park at the tip of the peninsula to see the distinct, merging colors of the Danube, Inn, and Ilz.
• Veste Oberhaus Fortress: Climb up to this medieval clifftop fortress for stunning panoramic views over the three rivers and the valley.
• Charming Bavarian Alleys: Explore the colorful "Höllgasse" artists' alley, browse local artisan shops, and relax in traditional Bavarian beer gardens.
