'Passau is One of the Seven Most Beautiful Cities in the World'
(Alexander von Humboldt)

This time of the year it is nice to start making holiday plans for the summer. If you are planning to visit Bavaria, my own favourite German state, try to include a visit to Passau in Lower Bavaria in your schedule. The "City of Three Rivers" is beautifully located, where the Danube is joined by the rivers Inn and Ilz.
The well preserved historical center - the Altstadt, on an island in the Danube - is very charming with lots of beautiful gothic and baroque architecture to admire. About 10.000 of the city´s altogether 50.000 inhabitants are students of the local University of Passau, which is renowned in Germany for its institutes of Economics, Law, Theology, Computer Sciences and Cultural Studies.
Below a few pictures from a recent visit:
