Bressanone in South Tyrol: medieval Episcopal city in the Isarco Valley

Bressanone is located in the centre of a wide basin in the Isarco Valley. The Episcopal city was built at the confluence of the rivers Rienza and Isarco and welcomes you with a medieval ambiance. Narrow streets with charming arcades wind through the city centre and magnificent buildings line the streets. In the centre of the old town, the mighty cathedral rise with its Gothic cloister and the prince-bishop palace (Hofburg). Landmark of Bressanone is the 71-meter White Tower, which is one of the tallest buildings in the Episcopal city. During a guided visit you may climb up nearly 200 steps and enjoy a breathtaking view from the highest point of the city.
