Passau – How to find us

The Institute is housed on the second floor of the ITZ building.

The best way to reach Passau is by rail, or by car via the A3 autobahn. For visitors arriving by air, we recommend flying to Linz or Munich airport and continuing your journey by rail. Once you get to Passau you haven’t got much further to go: the university is close to the city center, and can easily be reached on foot, by bike or by bus.

 

 

By car

On the A3 autobahn, take the exit marked 'Passau Mitte' and turn left at the lights towards Passau. Follow this road for around 1 km, then take the first right onto Pionierstrasse. Continue until you reach a T junction, and turn left onto Neuburgerstrasse. Follow this road for around 1.5 km. At the fifth set of lights, turn right onto Leonhard-Paminger-Strasse, continue to the T junction, and turn left onto Innstrasse. The university buildings are located on each side of Innstrasse.
