Yes. Unlike a children's treasure hunt, you get well-crafted puzzles, real locations in Passau's old town and a story with historical depth, made for adults, yet doable as a family from about age 10.

A city rally is a self-guided city exploration: you follow a set route and solve puzzles at real places along the way, at your own pace and with no fixed time. Stadtspur adds historical figures as audio guides and a story that connects all the stations. That places it between a classic guided tour and an escape game, just outside in the real city.

Yes. Stadtspur Passau is a digital city rally through the old town: 16 puzzles along roughly 1.5 km, taking about 2 hours, starting at the cathedral square (Domplatz), playable any day at any time. A ticket costs €29.90 and covers the whole group (1–8 people), in German and English, right in the browser with no app.

Passau is wonderful to explore on foot: the baroque old town between the Danube and the Inn, St. Stephen's Cathedral with Europe's largest cathedral organ, the Three Rivers Corner, the Veste Oberhaus fortress with its view over the city, or a boat trip on the Danube. If you'd rather explore playfully, turn it into a city rally and solve puzzles at exactly these places.

Three rivers meet in Passau: the Danube, the Inn and the Ilz. At the Three Rivers Corner you can even make out three water colours in good light, the greenish water of the Inn, the blue-grey of the Danube and the dark, moorland water of the Ilz. This meeting of rivers gave Passau its nickname, the City of Three Rivers.

Yes, even half a day is enough for a first impression. The old town is compact and entirely walkable, the main sights are close together. Many guests come as day-trippers or during a river cruise stop. The city rally takes around 2 hours and fits easily into any day visit.

The Passauer Tölpel is a larger-than-life stone head near the cathedral, the remainder of a medieval stone figure said to have lost its body in the great town fire. Today it is one of Passau's most fondly mocked landmarks. In Stadtspur it guides you through the city as a cheeky audio character, alongside Bishop Ulrich and Blessed Gisela.

One ticket costs €29.90 and covers 1 to 8 people. Split across the group that is €3.74 each with eight of you, or €7.48 each with four. The ticket is valid for 12 months and you play whenever you like, no appointment needed.
