Bregenz
Bregenz is the capital of Vorarlberg and sits on the eastern shore of Lake Constance, where Austria, Germany and Switzerland meet. The Pfänder mountain rises right behind the town, and the lake spreads out in front.
Bregenz is best known for its summer opera festival on a floating stage. It also has a small medieval upper town, a famous art museum and a long lakeside promenade.
