Top 2 insider tips

  • The narrowest house in Europe: The narrowest house in Europe is located at Kirchstraße 29. It measures just 57 cm wide and is over 200 years old. The special thing about it is that only the façade is so narrow, but inside the walls diverge, making it a normal place to live.
  • Kunsthaus in Bregenz: At first glance, the building looks massive and not necessarily inviting. Once you enter, however, you are greeted by a light-flooded room that casts a different light on the artworks depending on the time of day. It is home to contemporary art and regularly surprises visitors with exhibitions from famous museums.
