Veste Oberhaus

What incredible views of the city below. The restaurant was a perfect place for a gathering and the enjoy the views even longer. Summer visits would offer more as the main parts were all closed. We walked up the hill and enjoyed the cardio workout.

A must-see when in Passau!

Veste Oberhaus, former stronghold of Passau’s prince-bishops, sits high above the town and includes a museum, restaurant and watchtower with a panoramic viewpoint of the town and the three Rivers Confluence. The main museum is filled with fascinating exhibits from the history of the castle, to architecture comparisons, to medieval battles to a traveling exhibit from Japan on paper making.

Tickets at the entrance were only 5 Euros, which is a steal for this great attraction, and covered access to the entire compound. There is a small shuttle between the castle drawbridge and the Passau town square that costs 1.6 Euros each way. The shuttle is great as the castle sits atop a steep hill. Note: The bus shuttle didn’t show up on one of the designated pickup times so we opted to walk (~12 minutes).

Very good museum, covering era of King Ludwig II. View of meet of Donau, Danube and Inn is miraculous. Must have ferry on Cruise 🙂👍🏻

Cool castle/museum with nice exhibits, well-preserved rooms, and great views of Passau. Nice artifacts from Passau's history. Not everything has English translations, but many did. Beautiful Madona and child painting. Good collection of weapons. St. George's chaple was very cold and creepy. Not too crowded. I danced a waltz alone in a ballroom!

Super schön! You should definitely visit the Veste Oberhaus if you are in Passau. The view is mesmerizing and easy to get there, even for people with reduced mobility there is a bus. You can find a restaurant on the top but you should know it is not going to be cheap. There is also a museum and you can enjoy the view from many angles. Entrance costs 0 EUR and it is open 24/7.

A must visit when you are in Passau. Great views of the city from the top lookout point. There is also a panorama weg which offers some stunning Fall colors.

Historical fortress on top of the hills in Passau. It's a well-preserved building complex with a museum inside worth a visit. It's also a good vantage point to have a beautiful panorama over the city. In summer you'll also be able to watch some cultural events in the back. On the far end you can also sit down and have a meal at the restaurant. Recommended.

What a beautiful castle and a beautiful restaurant at the top with spectacular views of Passau . this is incredible architecture and the building rests on a rock overlooking the river and city. Summer is a must as the wind can strong up here. Beautiful worth a visit.

You know what they say: the best view of a city is from the top. It's right. Quite a walk up, though. It's still worth it. Grab some water and good luck!

Great views of Passau from this side of the two rivers including the Danube. Well worth a visit by taking the museum bus from the square in front of the town hall in Passau or walk across the bridge and up the hill.its a little bit of a climb up the stairs be careful as it has lots of loose rocks. The photo opportunities are really great. It’s a most when in Passau.

Very interesting and scenic with further tracks leading to Bugerfried. From this high position, views over Passau and the 3 colours of the 3 rivers.

The museum is cool but make sure to have google translate if you dont speak German. If that isnt your style, going up to the observatory is free! Best views in Passau.

This is one of the best places in Passau! You should definitely come and see the great view of the city. Although it’s kinda crowded in summer, it’s definitely worth visiting!

Great view, great old looking fortress.Nicely regulated.Has also a cool looking restaurant.Recommend it.

Incredible castle and the panoramic views are breathtaking.

Great view of the three rivers, and the whole of Passau 😊
