Even the most urban corners of Passau hide pockets of nature for those willing to walk. Green spaces like Veste Oberhaus offer a breathing room between landmarks — and some of the best views you'll find anywhere in the city. Seek out quieter retreats like Innstadt for the calm that the busier parks can't offer.
The 'City of Three Rivers' — a baroque old town on a narrow peninsula where the Danube, Inn, and Ilz converge.
