Exploring Bressanone and the Isarco valley

At the foot of the Plose mountain where the Isarco and Rienza meet lies Bressanone, the third largest city in South Tyrol. Romantic little alleyways are reminiscent of a Gothic, Romantic, and Baroque past. The cultural programme begins in the heart of the old town with the cathedral and the connecting cloister, the Hofburg palace with the diocesan museum and the parish square with the St. Michael church. The famous arcades invite you to a relaxed shopping trip with medieval flair and the immediate vicinity boasts numerous castles and palaces that testify to the Isarco valley's knightly past.
