Bregenz

Lake Constance city break from Switzerland by train

Illustration of Bregenz

Bregenz, the capital of Austria's Vorarlberg region, sits on the shores of Lake Constance and is easily reached by train from Switzerland. Railtour suisse packages a two-day, one-night stay centered on this lake town, combining a rail journey with a night in a 3-star hotel. The city mixes a lakeside promenade with cultural landmarks such as the Kunsthaus Bregenz (KUB), an art museum in a striking glass building, and the Martinsturm tower in the historic old town. The Bregenz Festival, famous for its outdoor performances on a floating lake stage, is a highlight you can add. From the hotel, you can walk to Lake Constance, hike or cable-car up the Pfänder mountain for Alpine views, or book an optional Bregenzerwald Cheese Route excursion combining a tasting tour and gentle hiking. This is a self-guided break suited to couples, culture travellers, and first-time rail passengers seeking a quiet lake destination.
