Hotels in Bregenz

We only stayed the night, however there would be plenty to do, such as the theatre on the lake. We found a very pleasant station restaurant, and there seems to be no shortage of choice throughout the town centre and on the lakeside. A good centre for touring.

A must for enjoying a city with beautiful surroundings: lakes, mountains. It has the most beautiful bike ride tour opportunities (Switzerland, Germany & Austria) and the most beautiful scenery with the city and the lake. Really charming. We did not really book a tour there, we just rented city bikes and started riding to Germany, manage to go to Friedrichshafen and back. You can stop as many times as you want and the weather was perfect, fresh but warm enough to dive into the lake :) The Pfändernbahn was definitely a highlight. You can take the cable car but we didn't realise (until we were there and paid for our two way cable car ride) we could have hiked all the way up and down. :) So, once we were up there, we hike all the way down and once we were in the city, we hiked back up :) And then we took our already booked cable car ride to the city. Fun, really :) It takes around 4 hours if you hike at a normal speed (slow would be 5 hours or longer). But it's a one day adventure. I really enjoyed it and afterwards you can go to a restaurant and enjoy a few extra sweets ;) Bregenz is lovely, charming and has character.

Bregenz is a wonderful historic town/city on Lake Constance. The entire town is picturesque and the lake front is a tourist paradise, safe walks, beautiful gardens and views, restaurants and lots of life. The town itself is traffic free and so relaxed and charming, with nice shops and great cafes and restaurants. There are good ferry and boat tours to other charming lake towns as well. The highlight of our stay was the cable car. The views were amazing and we chose to walk back down which was a great experience and taste of the culture. It was the nicest part of Austria for us and we could have had a better time if we had spent most of our holiday there.

We did two boat trips, one as far as Lindau where we spent an interesting afternoon. The other was a 2 hour trip on the lake which was very pleasant. We also went on the cable car. We were very lucky with bright sunshine every day so we saw Bregenz in its best condition I think. Walking along the lakeshore is very relaxing. My husband also hired a bike and cycled as far as Lindau. He loved that.

We arrived on the first rainy day after two weeks of sunshine. The cable car is great. Views would have been much better without the clouds and we would have enjoyed the walk more. I think Bregenz is probably a great place to be in summer or on bright winter days.

Great sunsets, Nice fireplaces, swimming in the lake + visiting "Pfänder" are highly recommended, visiting the "Milk Mushroom" + having a milkshake there and going by ship to Lindau are great activities. Great variety of things to do!!!!
