Why Bregenz matters

Bregenz sits on the Austrian shore of Lake Constance, backed by a mountain you can reach by cable car. Each summer, a giant floating stage on the lake hosts the Bregenz Festival with spectacular opera productions. A glass-clad art museum and a relaxed promenade complete the picture.

Talking points

  • The festival stage is built on the lake itself.
  • A cable car rises to a viewpoint above the town.
  • Lake Constance is shared with Germany and Switzerland.
