Čo vidieť v Pasove

Passau Essentials

Passau, known as the 'City of Three Rivers,' sits at the confluence of the Danube, Inn, and Ilz. This collection highlights the city's significant baroque heritage, centered around St. Stephen's Cathedral, which houses the world’s largest cathedral organ. The list features the 13th-century Veste Oberhaus fortress, the world's largest collection of Bohemian glass, and the historic Old Town Hall. These sites showcase the architectural evolution of the city from its medieval foundations to its transformation into a late baroque masterpiece under the prince-bishops.
