Why you shouldn't miss Passau in Germany

Описание: Passau, Bavaria, Germany⁠
⁠
Every now and then (or possibly more often than that) I run into an awkward situation. ⁠
⁠
As a travel writer, I feel I should know... well, just about everything. Or at least everywhere? Leaving aside the insanity of this notion for a moment, let me tell you about Passau: a main stop for travellers along the Danube, Europe's longest river. ⁠
⁠
✅ Things to do in Passau⁠
• Visit St Stephen’s Cathedral and hear the world-famous pipe organ⁠
• Walk to the Veste Oberhaus fortress for panoramic views over the three rivers⁠
• Wander the Altstadt’s pastel streets and riverside promenades⁠
• Take a boat trip to see the point where the Danube, Inn and Ilz meet (or stand on the land and see all three)⁠
• Explore Passau Glass Museum for Art Nouveau and Baroque treasures⁠
• Follow the river paths by foot or bike (Passau connects to the long-distance Danube Cycle Trail.)⁠
⁠
🍽️ What to Eat⁠
• Bavarian pretzels still warm from the bakery⁠
• Weisswurst with sweet mustard (traditionally before midday)⁠
• River fish dishes — zander (pike-perch) is a local favourite⁠
• Apple strudel or dampfnudeln for something sweet⁠
• A stein of Bavarian beer in a riverside beer garden⁠
⁠
👜 What to Buy⁠
• Handcrafted Bavarian ceramics and wooden toys⁠
• Glassware inspired by the collections at the Passau Glass Museum⁠
• Local liqueurs — especially apricot or herbal schnapps (if you dare!)⁠
• Regional delicacies like honey, gingerbread or smoked river fish⁠
