Bludenz is called an "Alpine town" for good reason: located at the intersection of five valleys and surrounded by an impressive mountain world, it combines an urban lifestyle with Alpine nature. The mountain town is a meeting point for mobile explorers, culture vultures and active sports enthusiasts. The car-free town center, affectionately called "Städtle" by the locals, exudes historical charm with its patrician houses and romantic arcades. Numerous cafés, restaurants and small individual stores invite you to stroll and enjoy. Nature is never far away. From the city, you always have the local mountains in view. A wide range of leisure and sports activities on offer all year round ensures that boredom is never an issue. This makes the Alpine town the ideal starting point for a varied vacation in Vorarlberg.
