2024 Bregenz Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in November)

Hamma Café & Bakery

It's just a bakery with a café, nothing unusual. Maybe the interior motif was way INSTAGRAMIC😅 We had ordered coffee and some breads which indeed taste good. If you are Asian like me you will absolutely amaze about the place but some Europeans they found this place common😅😅 and also I have observed that the staffs are unfriendly well anyway i hope that i perceived it or blundered the way i have seen it. In conclusion Bregenz, Austria was amazing "di malimtan nga kasinatian sa Yuropa"☺️🙏🏻 #austrianstyletown #bregenz #café

Bregenz Altstadt

Super great old town with historical buildings and many memorials to fallen and killed soldiers! Very well maintained and beautiful, to be recommended in any weather! Chaurrr lang I've been here in the mid of fall and winter season the place looks amazing☺️ There are some places that can be discovered without tourist guide, but it is definitely more helpful to use google map or any😁🦾 But you can certainly also explore the old town of Bregenz in the "old-fashioned" way with a city map or in the "new-fashioned" way with Google Maps.

Martinsturm Austria🇦🇹

We didn't get into the museum. For some reason it is closed and there are no messages about it anywhere. Outside, both the tower and the old town are very interesting. Worth a look. Indeed a great views and interesting exhibition about Bregenz. Unfortunately no translation available. Beautiful with interesting facts about the history of Bregenz. There was also an art exhibition during our visit. Great view over the city, below is a small chapel. Not suitable for people with walking difficulties, the steps are very steep. Located in the upper town, landmark of the city, admission is okay. Nice medieval ensemble and not as hectic as in town although only a few minutes away. The symbol of Bregenz due to its location in the upper town (10 minutes' walk from the port), you have a wonderful view of the city, Lake Constance and the mountains. First a granary (1250) then a watchtower (1601) with a chapel and a striking onion dome. Today lookout tower and museum. Opens at 10am. You absolutely have to see the Martinskapelle with frescoes, which were created around 1360. They show colorful and vivid scenes from the Bible. Be sure to stroll through the streets and look at the lovingly prepared houses from several eras.

A Place that felt like Home

#celebratewithtrip Food is a must when I travel! Cakes and pastries are part of it too and of course coffee! We found this bakery café during our stay in Bregenz. We had our afternoon coffee and cake and it felt like home! Hamma Bakery and cafe offers baked goods that are mouth watering! It is located in the shopping center of Bregenz at Bahnhofstrasse 9. I found the place very welcoming, homely with friendly staff that made every guest comfortable. #hammabäkerundkonditorei #bregenz #voralberg #austria #lakeconstance #octobertrip #autumn

More than a Century Old Gothic Church

#celebratewithtrip Standing on a hill towering of the views of Bregenz and the Lake Constance is the Herz Jesu Church. Herz Jesu is a Catholic Church and is located at the old town (Altstadt) of Bregenz in Kolpingplatz 1. The church was finished built in 1906 although it was planned 10 years before. Bregenz is accessible by train either from Germany, Switzerland or Austrian side. There is a connection from Munich, Salzburg or from Zürich. We went there by car from Frankfurt and it took us 4 and a half hours (you can add another 30 minutes if there is traffic jam) to reached the city of Bregenz. #herzjesu #gothicchurch #bregenz #austria #october

Bregenz City

On the eastern shore of the famous Lake Constance, there is a very small inlet that belongs to Austria, and that is the famous tourist city of Bregenz. The lakeside town of Bregenz is the capital of the state of Vorarlberg, where it is located, and is the westernmost border town of Austria. The annual Bregenz Festival is world-renowned and attracts global attention.

Bregenz Festival|||A short month of summer passion and revelry each year

|||A short month of summer passion and revelry each year. Everyone, go for it——Bregenz Festival😍, it will definitely be an unforgettable experience! Save it now, you must go next year!!!! If you are in Europe or Austria from July to September, rush over!!! It will be a trip without regrets. The Bregenz Festival is one of the most important festivals and events in Austria each year, and also one of the most important opera festivals in the world, right at the junction of Germany, Switzerland, and Austria on Lake Constance. By the lakeside, you can fully enjoy the magnificent sunset🌈 while comfortably watching an opera, how romantic is that! At the Bregenz Festival, every year there is a super famous opera performed on the open-air stage on the water, which is many times more impressive than watching in a theater! And the stage design each year is so eye-catching, it really leaves a lasting impression! Below is an introduction to the operas that have been performed 🎭Stage Feast | The Magical Journey of the Bregenz Festival on Water🎭 🧊The stage design for the opera 'Carmen' is actually a pair of woman's hands holding a cigarette, and the cards scattered from the hands😮! This unique design was inspired by the 'Card Song' in the third act: Carmen foresees her inescapable fate through card reading, no matter how the cards are shuffled, destiny cannot be changed. 🧊'Rigoletto' was wonderfully presented on the lakeside stage of the Bregenz Festival, attracting thousands of music and opera fans😍, and even won the Opus - German Stage Award! The panoramic view of Lake Constance is simply astonishing, and the carefully designed stage continuously brings out new, dynamic, and surprising ideas! On stage, the actors move around a movable clown's head, walking in a fantasy world, where every move of the clown supports the dramatic structure of this world-famous opera🤡. 🧊The giant eye installation for 'Tosca' is the theme of the massive stage, and when the eyeball opens, it becomes the stage for the actors to perform to their heart's content, this design concept is simply too creative👁️! 🧊'Madame Butterfly' weighs 300 tons, yet miraculously floats on the water, as if it were a weightless piece of paper! 🧊The performers of 'A Masked Ball' perform on a huge, open book—'The Book of the Dance of Life'. Death is represented by a 25-meter-tall, 30-ton skeleton looming over the book, creating an intense atmosphere😱! 🧊'Andrea Chénier', a romantic Italian opera composed by the Italian composer Umberto Giordano in 1896, is set in Paris in the second half of the 18th century and tells the life story of the famous poet and politician Andrea Chénier. Its stage inspiration comes from Jacques-Louis David's famous painting 'The Death of Marat'🖼️. 🧊In 'The Magic Flute', three standing dragons with their sharp fangs bite onto a rope bridge, surrounding a giant green turtle, whose back sometimes extends spikes of different lengths. Its stage design is full of fairy-tale colors, with the actors mainly performing on the turtle's back and the rope bridge🐢. ⚠️⚠️⚠️①Be sure to buy tickets in advance!!! When buying tickets in May, there are hardly any seats left😮! ②During the festival, you can ride the bus for free with a ticket for the day🚌! And there are corresponding discounts for museum tickets🎫! ③For accommodation, you can choose to stay in a slightly distant village, the transportation is super convenient, and it only takes fifteen minutes to get there🚗, no worries after watching the play, there will still be transportation😎! ④The festival will also have other regular plays, but the theater is very close by, so don't go to the wrong place🤔 (Additionally, if you are short on time, you can choose to skip it, because compared to the main opera of the year, it's quite ordinary, the kind that can be seen in any theater).

Foggy Bregenz

Bregenz, Austria

#celebratewithtrip Bregenz is a city in Austria where we will also find the part of Lake Constance, since the lake boarders Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Bregenz has a nice port and a beautiful prominade along the lake. It was a relaxing time when we went to Bregenz. The city was so calm which was so different from the cities that I know. The view at the lake was breathtaking. Looking at the water made me feel relaxed and calm especially on that long drive from Frankfurt. It was a very worthwhile visit. #bregenz #austria #lakeconstance #bodensee #alps
