Top 7 Things to do Good for Big Groups in Passau, Bavaria
Known as Dreiflüssestadt (City of Three Rivers), Passau is the place where the Danube meets the Inn and the Ilz. The picturesque city lies in Germany’s far southeast corner near the Austrian border. Settled since prehistory and a former hub of the salt trade, it became the Roman village of Batavis, then later the Holy Roman Empire’s largest diocese and a sword-making center. Saint Stephan’s Cathedral, home of the world’s second-largest cathedral organ, is one of Passau’s favorite attractions.

Home to one of Europe's largest pipe organs, St. Stephen's Cathedral exudes the baroque architecture style of the 17th Century. The organ has more than 17,000 pipes and inspired Liszt to write his "Hungarian Coronation Mass. An organ concert, held each day excep on Sundays or from November to April, was really stunning. The sound penetrates you from all angles . . . but in a good way. Most amazing is the architecture inside with statuary and gilded effigies everywhere. Because it is a tourist favorite, you may find it fairly crowded but I recommend that you go in the morning when (a) it is a bit cooler and (b) not as many people attend the organ concert. In all, the experience widened my understanding of the period and the people of Passau.

Another highlight of this impressive European cultural monument is the chapel of St. George at the heart of the castle with its magnifcent gothic frescoes.

One of the finest castles in Europe and the view of the Passau is on a next level. Highly recommended to go to the top of the hill to have the panoramic view of this majestic city.

A great walk or cycle for those that wish to see the river Inn. It’s a great comparison to the river Danube only a few minutes away. We learned the difference between the two... of there are cruise boats it’s the Danube, if there are not, it’s the Inn. It was a sunny and cold day for us, perfect for walking and culture. From the cathedral, this is only about 2 minutes walk from.

This is where the three rivers meet. The different colours and flow of each river are clearly visible. Could watch for hours.
