Germany Port of call
Roman finds, Stadtplatz architecture, or the ducal castle exterior.
Straubing’s municipality identifies its Danube ship landing in the town’s history trail. Save your river ship’s actual gangway and bank-side route; the general landing listing does not assign your call’s berth.
Option 1
Choose a plan for the stops, food, walking and extra costs. Suggested plans are flexible; use your ship’s all-aboard time to set your return.

Selected currently open Gäubodenmuseum galleries.
Your gäubodenmuseum plan
Local tip
The museum holds the Roman finds. Straubing’s museum brochure identifies Gäubodenmuseum’s archaeological collection. Our suggestion: choose that indoor visit rather than expecting the castle exterior to provide the same exhibits.
