Passau is loaded with good dining options. If you find yourself(s) there we recommend Das Oberhaus (12€ taxi from quay) for the view and food and Welcome cafe/bar/pub on the Schustergasse is a good stop for coffee & dessert or a good Bavarian meal and a bier.

We concluded our Viking Budapest to Regensberg Danube River cruise on 11/21/2023. The cruise ship was not able to get into Passau for the scheduled night there and on to the scheduled two nights in Regensberg due to high water downstream of Passau. The cruise ship docked first at Passau-Lindau (a 10 – 12-minute bus ride into Passau) and then, back down river at Englehartszell (a 30-minute bus ride into Passau). While we were very disappointed in the situation, Viking provided a tour of the monastery in Englehartszell, buses for those that wished to go on a walking tour of Regensberg (a 2 hour + ride each way for the 2 ½ hour tour) and a useful shuttle service into Passau on the 2d day. We were bused on to Nuremberg for the final day and two-day post cruise extension. We were not the only cruise effected by the high water and resulting ship relocation shuffle.
