  • R

    Ronald

    Asked on October 4th, 2022

    Does Passau have an airport, or do I have to get a car from Munich? Do you have a tour in June 2023?

    Flights / Transfers
    Tour Details
    • A-ROSAOperatorWritten October 2022

      Passau has no Airport, another opportunity to come to Passau from Munich would be by train. The next nearby airport would be Airport Salzburg in Austria. The tour is called Danube Advent, as Advent only takes place in December, there are no other dates except in December. In case you also like to see other cruises in June 2023 through Germany you can adjust the departure date, length of the tour, travel style, budget and more using the filters on the left hand side of the screen.
