Bregenz is Vorarlberg's elegant capital city on the shores of Lake Constance (Bodensee), world-renowned for its spectacular summer opera festival performed on a floating stage. The Bregenzer Festspiele attracts international audiences for grand opera productions with the lake and Alps as backdrop. Beyond the festival, Bregenz features a charming old town, lakeside promenade, and the Pfänder mountain offering panoramic views over the lake and three countries.
