Arrive in Passau — the three-rivers city on the Austrian border where the Danube cruises begin — with a private fixed-price transfer from Frankfurt Airport (FRA). The 446 km route along the A3 takes around 4h 30min, and your FrankfurtRide chauffeur handles everything door-to-door, with the price agreed before you travel.
Passau stands where the Inn and the Ilz join the Danube, a peninsula of baroque streets ending at the tip of the Ortspitze with Austria on the far bank. St Stephen's Cathedral holds one of the largest church organs in the world, and the Veste Oberhaus fortress looks down on the confluence from across the Danube. The city is the main embarkation port for Danube river cruises to Vienna and Budapest, which is why so many overseas passengers arrive here via Frankfurt. Universität Passau, founded in 1978, has its compact campus along the Inn riverbank a few minutes from the old town and is known for law, business and its cultural-studies and IT programmes. ZF's Passau plant, building axles and transmissions, is the largest private employer; Linz is about 90 km downstream and Munich 190 km to the west.
The Frankfurt Airport to Passau transfer follows the A3 corridor with consistent journey times of around 4h 30min. Your FrankfurtRide chauffeur drops you at any address in Passau — hotel, business, or private residence — all at the same fixed price with no detour surcharge.
