    On top of the tower of the old townhall 23 bells make a perfect chime with a total repertoire of 88 melodies, and the melodies are changing according to the times of the year or special festivities.

    You may hear the melody made by the chimes daily at fixed times :
    10.30 a.m. + 02.00 p.m. + 07.25 p.m. + 09.00 p.m.
    and in addition each saturday at 03.30p.m. !

    In the year 2004 - 150 years after that special event - a similar steamship made the same journey again, with actors onboard, performing Sissi and her court...

    • June to August, Passau sees lots of musical events like concerts and dance. Participating performers are well known international orchestras and there is so much going on then that there is a special Europäische Wochen office in the Old Town.
