Citytrips

 

… TO BRIXEN

The old cathedral town of Brixen is definitely worth a visit – whether you’re young or old! Younger visitors can enjoy the numerous play areas in the city. A particular highlight is the Christmas market on the square in front of Brixen cathedral.

 

… TO BRUNECK

They say that the picturesque little town of Bruneck is the heart and soul of the Puster Valley. The medieval alleyways, the venerable old castle on the Schlossberg hill, the mysterious woods which surround it. There really is a lot to discover in Bruneck. In the period leading up to Christmas, the Christmas markets with atmospheric concerts and bakeries especially for children render this place really special.

 

… TO STERZING

This little town of the upper Eisack valley has a special magic all of its own. The historic city centre is replete with medieval oriels and stepped gables and boasts one of Europe’s most beautiful shopping streets.
