Bregenz

Lake Constance defines the setting of Bregenz — its broad eastern shore gives the city a waterfront character, while the wooded slopes of Pfänder rise immediately behind it. As the capital of Vorarlberg, Bregenz sits close to the borders with Germany, Switzerland and Liechtenstein, reflecting the region’s long-standing connections across the Alpine Rhine valley. The Bregenz Festival is its international calling card: summer opera productions are staged on a vast platform floating on the lake. In the Upper Town, remnants of the medieval settlement stand above the modern centre, while the Kunsthaus Bregenz is a major venue for contemporary art.
