Passau's historic old town has cobblestone streets and some steep areas that can be challenging for wheelchairs and strollers. However, the main pedestrian areas and riverside promenades are generally accessible. Public transportation and many hotels offer accessibility features for visitors with mobility needs.
Passau is very safe for visitors. Crime rates are low, and the city center is well-maintained and regularly patrolled. As with any destination, use basic precautions like keeping valuables secure, but travelers can feel comfortable walking around the historic center day and night.
Tipping in Germany is customary but not excessive. At restaurants, rounding up to the nearest euro or leaving 5-10% for good service is standard. It's common to tell the server the total amount you want to pay (including tip) rather than leaving cash on the table.
Passau offers traditional Bavarian cuisine including weisswurst (white sausage), sauerbraten (marinated roast), and schnitzel. Local specialties include fresh river fish, pretzels with mustard, and regional beers. Don't miss trying apfelstrudel and other Austrian-influenced pastries due to the city's proximity to Austria.
Germany uses the euro (EUR) as its official currency. ATMs are widely available throughout Passau, and credit cards are accepted at most hotels, restaurants, and shops. However, many smaller establishments and local eateries prefer cash, so it's wise to carry some euros for daily expenses.
Passau is famous for being the "City of Three Rivers" where the Danube, Inn, and Ilz converge. The city is renowned for its baroque architecture, St. Stephen's Cathedral with one of the world's largest church organs, and as a starting point for Danube River cruises to Vienna and Budapest.
German is the official language in Germany, but English is commonly spoken in hotels, restaurants, and tourist areas in Passau. Many younger people and those working in tourism speak good English, making communication straightforward for English-speaking visitors.
The best time to visit Passau is from May to September when weather is warm and pleasant for exploring the riverside town and taking river cruises. Christmas season (December) is magical with traditional markets, while spring and fall offer mild weather and fewer crowds for sightseeing.
