The statue is clearly visible in the middle of Cathedral Square. Your guide will be waiting there for the start of the tour. Please be at the meeting point a few minutes before the start so that the tour can start on time. We will be happy to pick you up at the booked start time at the main entrance or in the lobby of your hotel. Pick-up is possible from any hotel in Passau's old town.
