DISCOVER PASSAU WITH CELEBRITY RIVER CRUISES
Sailing into Passau with Celebrity River Cruises, you are welcomed by a city shaped by the meeting of three rivers, the Danube, Inn, and Ilz, a confluence that creates one of Europe’s most striking natural scenes. Begin your exploration at St. Stephen’s Cathedral, where the sounds of the world’s largest cathedral organ fill the sanctuary with breathtaking resonance. Climb to Veste Oberhaus, a fortress standing for over 800 years, where panoramic views reveal the rivers winding below and an exhibit brings the region’s rich history into focus.
Beyond its remarkable setting, Passau offers a graceful blend of Baroque beauty and everyday charm. Wander through the old town, where pastel buildings line narrow alleys and small shops reveal local treasures. Stop at a café to sample classic Bavarian dishes, from hearty sausages and soft pretzels to a tangy slice of torte. Whether you are drawn to sacred music, hilltop views, or quiet moments along the water, Passau offers a sense of place that is both powerful and peaceful.
