Where to stay in Innstadt
How the choice of base plays out on the ground.
The Innstadt is one of Passau's quarters, and a stay in it is a stay in Passau, with the cathedral, the museums, and the fortress towers all on the same city list. Beds follow the city. Ask for St. Stephan's Cathedral when directing a driver, since the quarter's own streets carry no lodging name of their own.
If you want the Museum Castrum Boiotro and the old fort ground rather than the shopping streets, book here.
