Am, Nibelungenpl. 5a, 94032 Passau
Passau, where the Danube, Inn, and Ilz rivers converge in a dramatic aquatic junction, is one of Bavaria's most visually striking cities. The Cineplex on Nibelungenplatz takes its address from the medieval epic, appropriate for a city whose geography has the quality of legend. The Italianate old town, rebuilt by Italian masters after a devastating fire in 1662, rises steeply from the water, and the cathedral houses one of the world's largest pipe organs. In a city of such sensory abundance, the cinema provides the complementary experience of sitting still and letting stories come to you rather than stepping out to find them.
