Destination

Passau

Human settlements have existed here at the confluence of the Danube, Inn and Ilz rivers ever since prehistoric times. In this millennium the city was considerably enlarged by the prince bishops of Passau, who made it their royal residence and capital of the largest Danube diocese. The wonderful Baroque buildings that dominate the city today were built after the great fire of 1662. One of the most striking is cathedral of St. Stephan, which boasts the world’s biggest church organ. One of the best ways to enjoy the magic of Passau is with a sightseeing tour by ship.

Regensburg

A perfect combination: an inviting skyline, impressive historic monuments, and legendary hospitality. Regensburg, Germany’s best preserved large medieval city, offers a harmonious scenario in every respect. Here, the heritage of major past eras is the spice in the soup of lively urban life.

Get a feeling for life in the days of old – by walking over the Stone Bridge, built over 850 years ago and the oldest of its kind in Germany. Or stroll through the Old Town lanes with their tall patricians’ towers; pass through the Roman Porta Praetoria at the Northern perimeter; and visit the Old Town Hall with historic imperial hall and the palace of the princes of Thurn & Taxis. Or take the time to listen to an uplifting choir concert in St. Peter’s Cathedral – Bavaria’s most outstanding Gothic structure.

Ride the boat across the Danube rapids, enjoy some of the many festivals, experience art and culture at historic sites, and treat yourself to Regensburg fried sausage at the historic Salzstadel.
