Culinary city tour through the town of Bludenz
Historical themes combined with culinary moments of pleasure
Did you know that around 1900 one fifth of Bludenz's population was of Italian descent? Or that the Bludenzer had to save over 150 years to be able to afford the construction of the church tower of Laurentiuskirche?
The culinary city tour in Bludenz is different. Here, the facts and myths surrounding the medieval city can be felt and combined with extraordinary moments of enjoyment. The topics of the tours are: The Bludenzer and the Welschen, Friedrich with the empty bag or legends, local and uncanny. No matter which motto you choose - with each one you enjoy a suitable three-course menu served by Bludenz restaurants.
