Bregenz

Bregenz straddles the transition between Lake Constance and the lower slopes of Pfänder in Vorarlberg, a position that has long tied the city to both Alpine routes and the lakeshore. The Roman settlement of Brigantium stood here, while today Bregenz is widely associated with the Bregenz Festival and its open-air floating stage on the lake. The compact Upper Town retains historic lanes and the Martinsturm, a former granary with a distinctive wooden cupola. Kunsthaus Bregenz, designed by Peter Zumthor, adds a major contemporary-art landmark to the centre.
