The best photos of Passau aren't always at the obvious landmarks. Sure, Veste Oberhaus will fill your camera roll, but the real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, and the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot. Seek out Glass Museum for the kind of shot that no one else is posting.
The 'City of Three Rivers' — a baroque old town on a narrow peninsula where the Danube, Inn, and Ilz converge.

Passau attracts visitors for architecture and nature, and Veste Oberhaus and every landmark doubles as a photography opportunity when you know where to stand and when the light is best. A photography-focused walk pays attention to reflections, leading lines, and street scenes between the landmarks. Hidden photogenic spots like Glass Museum reward those who wander off the main path.
Walk from the cathedral to the Dreiflüsseeck at the tip of the peninsula to watch the rivers merge. Cross the bridge and climb to the fortress for views.
May through September. Organ concerts in the cathedral take place at midday from May through October.
