The old bishop’s town of Brixen has its own rhythm and charm.
Where narrow alleys open onto wide squares, where the Middle Ages meet modernity, and where life pulses between cathedral square and mountain peaks – that’s where Brixen shines with striking contrasts. In Brixen’s unhurried pace, high-quality projects, modern shops, and a unique way of life have always found their place. Culture, premium events, shopping opportunities, historic buildings alongside contemporary architecture – Brixen embraces contrasts.
Stay surrounded by possibilities. Brixen is located in the heart of South Tyrol, and the Badhaus is in the heart of Brixen. A day trip might take You from the southern shores of Lake Garda under olive trees to the rugged peaks of the Alpine Main Ridge. Within easy reach: Lake Kaltern, the Tre Cime di Lavaredo, Lake Braies, the Alpe di Siusi, the Sciliar, and the Gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle in Merano.
Enjoy the legendary view of the Dolomites from the Villandro Alp, the Odle Peaks in Val di Funes, or Mount Plose – or explore the landscape by bike or e-bike along one of the many scenic trails. Plan Your stay as a hub-and-spoke adventure, tailored to Your interests, the weather, and what inspires You most.
With the BrixenCard, which you’ll receive at check-in, you can use all public transportation free of charge during your stay. Alternatively, we’ll be happy to reserve one of our e-bikes for you.
Urban gem with character.
Here, a cappuccino beneath centuries-old arcades; there, an aperitif at the Viertel Bar. In between, cobblestone paths guiding You from the Hofburg to the cathedral, from hidden courtyards to open squares. Art, culture, and a touch of la dolce vita – Brixen knows how to celebrate life.
Look far. Plose.
From Mount Plose, breathtaking views of the Dolomites open up before You. This mountain paradise is a haven for hikers, bikers, and snow lovers alike. In both summer and winter, Plose remains an untouched natural retreat – the “backyard wilderness” and vital recreation area for the residents of the Brixen basin.
Plose offers space for all kinds of outdoor activities: biking, paragliding, hiking, skiing… Stop in at one of the cozy mountain huts or race down the forest slopes with the Plose-Bob. A ski and bike rental service, along with the Plose cable car, ensures that Your adventures are both easy and safe.
One.
Between worlds.
Alpine heritage, Mediterranean charm – Brixen embodies both. And that is exactly what makes it unique. For over a thousand years, Brixen has been a central point of reference, even beyond regional borders. For centuries, it was the seat of the bishop. Visit the Diocesan Museum in the Hofburg, stroll through the arcades, marvel at the cathedral with its colorful cloister, be enchanted by the Water Light Festival, or discover the fascinating history of old pharmacies at the Pharmacy Museum of Brixen.
Within walking distance lies Neustift Monastery. Its stunning library, filled with centuries-old hand-illustrated works, captivates the mind, while the soul savors the exquisite wines of the monastery’s own cellar. Brixen is a bridge between contrasts.
