Passau in the Rain
Passau has plenty to offer on rainy days: the magnificent St Stephen's Cathedral with its organ concert, the world-famous Glass Museum, the Museum of Modern Art in historic townhouses and the Oberhaus Museum inside the fortress. In between, warm cafes and cozy taverns. A day that makes you forget the rain - almost everything is under cover and dry.
Day 1
Museums, cathedral and cozy breaks
Four indoor highlights and warm breaks: the cathedral, the Glass Museum, modern art and the Oberhaus Museum - a day that stays dry.
- 10:00 - 11:15
St Stephen's Cathedral
In the rain, St Stephen's Cathedral is all the more an experience: the overwhelming baroque interior with the largest cathedral organ in the world, stucco, frescoes and gold - all dry and warm. The organ concert is an acoustic highlight.
Tip: Plan around the midday organ concert (May to October) - the best choice against the rain.
- 11:30 - 13:00
Glass Museum
The Glass Museum in the Hotel Wilder Mann holds the world's largest collection of Bohemian glass - over 30,000 objects across rambling floors. Hours of dry wandering through sparkling cabinets.
- 13:00 - 14:15
Lunch in the old town
In the taverns and cafes around the town hall square you can pause warm and dry - Bavarian treats against the rainy weather.
- 14:30 - 16:00
Museum of Modern Art
The Museum of Modern Art shows changing exhibitions of modern and contemporary art in historic townhouses of the old town - a quiet, sheltered art experience.
- 16:30 - 18:00
Oberhaus Museum in the fortress
Up by the Veste shuttle bus, staying dry: the Oberhaus Museum in the Veste Oberhaus tells the history of Passau and the region in the historic castle rooms - a rewarding finish in the rain.
- 19:00 - 21:00
Bavarian fare in the old town
To finish, a cozy tavern in the old town - warm light, hearty cuisine and a beer against the rain outside.
