Germany · TOURS IN PASSAU
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 4 tours in Passau worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
Spend two hours on the Crystal Ship, a Danube sightseeing boat decorated with one million Swarovski crystals. The round trip from Passau passes St. Stephan’s Cathedral, Oberhaus Castle, Haus am Strom, and Obernzell. A German-speaking guide provides live commentary, while crystal water displays and family games keep the ride lively.
Take a 45-minute sightseeing cruise from Anlegestelle A11 through Passau’s three-river meeting point. You’ll see St. Stephen’s Cathedral, Oberhaus Castle, the Town Hall, Maria Hilf, and colorful Baroque facades from the water. German commentary plays onboard, and drinks, coffee, cake, and ice cream are available to buy.
Walk Passau’s Old Town from dock A11 to Höllgasse Artists Alley, the Town Hall, Inn River, and St. Stephen’s Cathedral. Your German-speaking guide shares local history and practical tips for lunch, museums, and ice cream. English summaries may be available, as Elizabeth and Doris provided them for some guests.
“Our guide Elizabeth was marvelous. It was supposed to be in German, but she made sure she translated in English for us. We learned a lot about the history of the city and it helped us to explore the sites further. Excellent job.”
Meet your certified German-speaking guide at Passau Cathedral for a one-hour walk through the Old Town. You’ll see the Old Town Hall and flood lines, St. Stephen’s Cathedral, ScharfrichterHaus, the Inn promenade, and the meeting point of the Danube, Inn, and Ilz. The route can vary slightly with each guide.
“Unsere erfahrene ;-) Stadtführerin hat mit Charm und Humor durch die Altstadt geführt. Die Tour war sehr informativ, kurzweilig, bildend zum Thema Rokoko ;-) und für uns im Rahmen von 1 Stunde super! Die Kälte zwickte dann - daher gerade richtig. Klare Empfehlung!”
Pick a river, a century or a beer hall.
