Just half an hour from Vintl lies Brixen – a city where history can be felt at every step.
Strolling through its narrow medieval streets, walking over small bridges, and past stately townhouses, you’re stepping through centuries of South Tyrolean history. Hidden among the old town’s corners are treasures like the stunning Brixen Cathedral, with its Romanesque roots and Baroque embellishments, and the 'Hofburg Palace', home to the Diocesan Museum – a fascinating window into sacred art and culture.
For a moment of peace and awe, step into the cloister of the 'Hofkirche'. Its colorful old frescoes tell the stories of past centuries - it is a place of silence and it invites to remain for reflection and wonder.
The old town is also perfect for a relaxing break: enjoy a slice of cake with a cup of coffee, a scoop of gelato, or an aperitif at one of the many charming cafés. And as you sit and take in all the surrounding atmoshere, it’s easy to imagine the footsteps of merchants, artists, and bishops who once walked these very streets.
Want to dive even deeper? The City Museum brings Brixen’s past to life – from Medieval times to the modern day, with engaging and vivid exhibitions.
Brixen isn’t just a place you visit. It’s a place you take home with you and cherish in your memories - impressions, and quiet moments that will stay with you long after you’ve left.
