Bregenz is surrounded by Lake Constance and is a beautiful small town of approximately 30,000 people. It is famous for the Bregenz festival, offering operas and plays held on a floating stage, and is also a perfect place to go hiking, cycling or swimming.
Bregenz is situated at the foot of the Pfänder Mountain. The upper town district is the oldest part, with buildings dating back to the 13th century. The Martin's Tower is the main landmark of the city, a building with a late Roman core and mainly Baroque style architecture.
