5. Day 4

   Passau

   Germany

   

   Passau occupies one of Central Europe's most dramatic natural stages — a narrow peninsula at the confluence of three rivers, the Danube, Inn, and Ilz, where the old town's baroque spires and shuttered merchants' houses crowd the very tip of the land between the waters. St. Stephen's Cathedral houses the world's largest church organ, a 17,974-pipe instrument whose daily concerts fill the nave with a sound that seems architectural in its density. The Veste Oberhaus fortress above the city commands panoramic views across three countries on clear days. Passau is a classic Danube river cruise departure point; spring and early autumn, when the river runs high and the light turns golden, are the finest seasons.

7. Day 5

   Deggendorf

   Germany

   

   Deggendorf, the "Gateway to the Bavarian Forest" on the Danube, combines a beautifully preserved medieval Stadtplatz with access to Europe’s largest contiguous woodland and Germany’s oldest national park. Must-dos include the Bavarian Forest’s 44-meter Treetop Walk, sampling Schweinsbraten with Knödel in a traditional Gasthaus, and browsing the Stadtplatz farmers’ market. Visit May through October for forest exploration, or December for atmospheric Advent markets.

8. Day 6

   Regensburg

   Germany

   

   Regensburg, Bavaria's medieval masterpiece on the Danube, is one of Central Europe's most intact ancient cities — its Roman origins visible in the Porta Praetoria stone gate, its medieval prosperity celebrated in the soaring twin towers of St. Peter's Cathedral and the twelfth-century Stone Bridge. UNESCO World Heritage status acknowledges a skyline dotted with patrician towers, while the famous Historische Wurstküchl, Germany's oldest operating sausage kitchen, has been serving spit-grilled bratwurst since the 1140s. The surrounding hills produce excellent Bavarian whites. May through September offers the most convivial riverbank atmosphere.

9. Day 7

   Nuremberg

   Germany

   

   Nuremberg commands the imagination on two levels: as the glittering medieval city where Holy Roman Emperors held court, Albrecht Dürer was born, and craftsmen produced the first pocket watch — and as the site of the 20th century's darkest chapter, where Nazi rallies and subsequent war crimes trials left permanent marks on European history and conscience. The Kaiserburg castle crowning the hill above the perfectly preserved old town offers sweeping views of a cityscape that, despite wartime bombing, remains one of Germany's most beautiful. The Documentation Centre on the former Nazi Rally Grounds is essential, sobering history; the Christmas Market on the Hauptmarkt, held since 1628, is among Europe's finest. Visit May through October or December.
