🇩🇪 Passau Day Trip Guide: Exploring the Three-River City 🌊🏰

🌞 Churches & Castles: A Fairytale Filter 📍 St. Stephen's Cathedral (Dom St. Stephan) First stop! This Baroque church is breathtaking—the ceiling frescoes look like a flowing galaxy, and the organ music is mind-blowing 🎵. Free concerts at 11 AM daily (arrive early!). ✨ Tip: Entry is free, but the organ was under maintenance during my visit. 📍 Three Rivers Corner (Dreiflüsseeck) Where the Danube, Inn, and Ilz rivers "hold hands"! The water layers are more visible on cloudy days. Climb to Veste Oberhaus lookout tower for panoramic views 🌊. 🚐 Lazy option: €5 shuttle uphill. 🚶♀️ Active option: 15-minute walk (gentle slope + scenic views!). 🏰 Veste Oberhaus A 13th-century castle turned museum—features knight armor and local history exhibits. The rooftop viewpoint is the iconic Passau postcard shot 📸. 🍽️ Lunch Recommendation: i Sapori della Toscana 🍝🍕 Tried the seafood pasta (conservative) and seafood pizza (adventurous)! Paired with local lager 🍺. 🌇 Old Town Treasure Hunt & Art Walk Basically… a delightful 2km riverside stroll! 😅 ⛪️ Old Town Hall (Altes Rathaus) Gothic clock tower chimes hourly! The exterior flood markers tell the story of river floods, while interior murals depict Passau’s history (free entry + photogenic). 🌆 Evening Romance: Sunset & Riverside Drinks 🚢 Danube River Cruise (AmaWaterways) If you catch the German-Austrian themed night cruise, go for it! Beer flows freely, and medieval buildings glow golden along the banks 🍻. No cruise? Try a riverside bar next to the town hall! #Passau #ThreeRiversCity #GermanyTravel #DayTrip #BaroqueArchitecture #RiverViews
